Why buy this home?

The “Thornford” is a very sought after family home set over two floors. Built by Taylor Wimpey this aesthetically pleasing property has everything a family could want. As you walk into this welcoming entrance hall, you immediately feel at home. The floor is laid with large grey tiles which is stylish yet practical, giving a light and modern feel and being easy to clean.

To the right of the hallway is the kitchen/diner which is the real heart of this home and runs the length of the house. The kitchen has white units with grey worktops giving it a modern feeling. Additional tiles have been added just to finish off this impressive space. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge freezer, and double oven. Next to the kitchen is the dining room, which is big enough for a four, six, or even eight-seater table. Alternatively you could use this as a family room where you can chill out with the kids after a long day. Double doors lead to the rear garden which has been landscaped to a high standard. It has a seating area at the bottom where the sun finishes up. Behind the garage there's a shed which is a great storage solution for all your gardening equipment.

To the left of the entrance hall, you have the all-important home office which could also be used as a children’s playroom. There is also a handy and very spacious WC/utility room which means you can do your washing and still entertain in the kitchen without the ambiance being ruined.

To complete the downstairs you have the main living room that is at the end of the hallway. Its great shape means you can lay your furniture out in numerous ways keeping it looking fresh. Double doors in this room fill it with natural light and give you access to the impressive garden.

The first floor is home to four double bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the front of the house and is such an impressive size, this is shown by the current owners having a super king size bed and bedside tables without the room feeling too “cosy”. The ensuite to the master has a double shower and light colour tiles. Next to the master bedroom is the fourth bedroom which is a very comfortable size. This is close enough to be used for the family's youngest member or like the current owner has it as a walk in dressing room. The second and third bedrooms are on the other side of the house so would be perfect for older children who crave their own space. The main bathroom has a shower and glass screen and has been finished off with the same light tiles as the ensuite.

Parking is provided by a single garage with a driveway for two cars.

When the Brickworks closed in 1978, an old claypit was flooded to create Jubilee Lake, now more commonly known as Willow Lake, easily the jewel in Newton Leys' crown.
