Originally a coach house with a horse chestnut lined avenue, which likely led passengers down to Redhill Aerodrome, Thumbles sits on a substantial two-acre plot and comes to the market for the first time in over forty years.
The main drive brings you into the central courtyard with arched porch and main entrance. The terracotta tiled entrance hall with downstairs bathroom, leads you into the first reception room, likely the original hall of the coach house, with vaulted ceiling which features a grand stone clad fireplace with log burning stove and flagstone floor beneath the carpet. Sitting to the side of this room is the fourth bedroom. At the heart of the home is the dining room which leads to the galley kitchen with access out to the second drive and front garden. Also accessed from the dining room is the final wing of the house. The large second reception room was used by the pervious vendors as the main living room and sits comfortably between the study, which features a fireplace and access to an additional downstairs w.c, and the garden room.
Upstairs there are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. An ongoing feature throughout are uniquely shaped dormer windows and period fireplaces.
The gardens immediately around the home are extensive; from the more intimate garden with patio area and lawn accessed directly from the garden room to the tree lined avenue leading down to the aerodrome, the huge expanse of field like lawn, to the areas at the side of the house where you find the solar panels and numerous sheds and outhouses used for storage. Walking these grounds, you appreciate that this was once a celebrated and well-loved family home and it’s potential to be that once again is abundantly clear.
