Cheriton House is a fabulous family home with masses of accommodation for both families and guests alike.
A black Rayburn presides over the kitchen and breakfast room at Cheriton House, in Thorney, perfecting the room’s farmhouse look.
But the Rayburn is only one of the many charms of this 18th-century, Grade II-listed property, which stands on the village green, and currently on the market via Fine & Country for £1.1 million.
The 5,005sq ft interior is full of delightful details, from large sash windows to fine fireplaces. Four reception rooms, including the large first-floor drawing room, make Cheriton House well suited to entertaining.
Also on the first floor are four bedrooms, with another four in the attic— all of which are en suite and reached from the back stairs. Outside is a partially walled garden and a large outbuilding that could be converted into an annexe (subject to planning consent).
Cheriton House is currently on the market via Fine & Country for £1.1 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
