Vendors Comments
The current owners of this stunning property say that the very first time they walked through the front door they immediately got the most wonderful feeling; it felt like \"home\".The house is situated in the highly sought-after south side of the charming market town of Melton Mowbray, a location that has afforded its owners a wonderful quality of life. They say that it's an incredibly peaceful setting and yet they are able to take advantage of the many wonderful shops and amenities within the town, which are all just a short stroll away.Thorncroft was built in the early 1930s, with an attention to detail that is second to none. Each of the rooms is wonderfully spacious, and the main living areas in particular contain some truly stunning features. Entering the property, you are greeted by the large reception hall, which has the most beautiful pine staircase as the main focal point. It's a bright and airy space in which natural light floods down from an attractive galleried landing. In the formal dining room, a place in which the current owners have enjoyed entertaining friends and family, oak panelling, exposed beams and a beautiful marble fireplace combine to give the entire space a feeling of great warmth and grandeur. From this room a 'secret door' which is concealed in a section of panelling leads through to the kitchen and breakfast room area, a space that is said to be the real heart of the home. Thorncroft sits in just under an acre of stunning grounds which envelop the entire property. To the front is a large driveway, which sets the house back from the road; it is the garden at the rear of the property that is most spectacular though. There is a large patio terrace, beyond which is a huge expanse of lawn surrounded by rose beds, mature trees and hedging, which serve to give the entire space a wonderful sense of peaceful seclusion. The current owners say that as their children have grown it has been the most fabulous natural playground, in which they have spent many hours running and playing to their hearts' content.For the past thirty-one years Thorncroft has been a much-loved part of the family. Here one can truly enjoy the very best of both worlds; a wonderfully spacious and characterful home set within beautiful grounds, all just a stone's throw from everything one could possibly want or need.
