Thornfield Farm is a substantial, stone-built country home set on approximately 1.5 acres on the edge of Burton Leonard. Generous living spaces include a drawing room with vaulted ceilings and inglenook fireplace, a large open-plan living kitchen opening to a south-facing terrace, and a dedicated study — all arranged for relaxed family living and entertaining.
The house offers five bedrooms in the main residence plus a detached self-contained annexe with its own entrance and courtyard garden. The annexe is currently run successfully as an Airbnb and provides flexible options: long-term guest or family accommodation, or continued holiday-let income.
Extensive landscaped gardens, a fenced paddock and mature specimen trees create a private, park-like setting with excellent potential for equestrian use, smallholding or outdoor hobbies. Practical features include a double garage, long tree-lined gravel driveway and ample parking/turning space.
Notable practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working or streaming. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property’s size and character mean ongoing maintenance and running costs should be expected. These factors are balanced by excellent privacy, versatile outbuildings and strong village schooling nearby, making this a compelling option for countryside families or buyers seeking secondary income.
