3 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Old Police House, High Street, Thornborough MK18.

The Old Police House is a unique property steeped in history, having been a butcher and a public house, in this most popular and sought after village. Situated right on the village green the house has an open aspect to the front from the living room and bedrooms and is at the heart of village life. Occupying a generous plot with a garage, outbuildings and a large garden, there is scope for refurbishment and potential to extend to add to the current 2154 sq ft. In walking distance to the pub and school the house makes an idyllic country home in a local community. The front door opens onto a large hallway with a quarry tiled floor and an open staircase to the first floor as well as a rear door to the garden. There is a cosy sitting room to the front which is double aspect with a bay window to the front and casement windows with a seat at the rear. A log burner within a fireplace and exposed beam create a welcoming atmosphere. In the middle of the house there is a back door from a central hallway that leads out to the patio. There is a downstairs cloakroom off this as well as a dining room and separate kitchen. Double doors from here lead to an extension which provides a sitting room with a log burner and windows and French doors onto the garden. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom which also has an airing cupboard and a door to further loft storage space. On the landing there are built in storage cupboards and one of the bedrooms also has a basin and shower cubicle.

Outside, there is a large patio area to the side and rear of the house and a door to 'The Barn', an outbuilding currently used as a workshop and storage area which has potential for an annexe. There is a rear door to the garage. The gardens beyond have a sweeping lawn down to a brook with a bridge over it and a further private garden beyond. There are mature shrubs and fruit trees all giving plenty of scope for the keen gardener and ample playroom for families and entertaining space.
