Grade II listed 16th-century home with gardens and studio, ideal for peaceful country living.
Grade II listed early 16th-century timber-framed thatched house
Lambs Farm House is an attractive Grade II listed 16th-century timber-framed and thatched home set back from the lane in peaceful Thornham Magna. Extended and cared for by the current owners for nearly 50 years, the house retains abundant original detail including exposed timber framing, inglenook fireplaces, mullion windows and handmade joinery, yet offers generous living space of about 2,325 sq ft across well-proportioned rooms.
The plot of around 0.25 acre includes pleasant front and rear gardens, an original well, gravel parking, garage and an adjoining outbuilding with workshop and a studio/garden room with a wood-burning stove — useful as a home studio, games room or potential annex (subject to listed-building constraints). The principal reception rooms have characterful finishes and selective underfloor heating; the kitchen and principal bathroom combine traditional fittings with modern conveniences.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which may restrict alterations and cause additional consent requirements and costs. Heating is by electric underfloor and storage heating rather than gas; ceilings in some rooms are low and the house dates from the early 1500s so ongoing maintenance is to be expected. There is a recorded medium flood risk for the area and council tax is noted as expensive.
This house will suit buyers seeking a distinctive period home with character, generous grounds and flexible outbuildings, who are comfortable with the responsibilities of owning a listed, historic property and who value rural privacy within reach of local schools and nearby market towns.
