Accommodation

The converted traditional stone steading at West Thunderton comprises modern and spacious two-bedroom accommodation in pleasant rural surroundings, with great potential for adding to the accommodation, comprising a superb rural package.

The main entrance to the property is located in the well-appointed courtyard, finished in decorative aggregate, lawn and paving with access to the garage and bothy building. As the steading is entered, you come straight into the spacious and airy hallway with the staircase to the first floor set back. The modern dining kitchen is well-appointed and provides plentiful space for cooking and family dining. Down the hallway are the luxurious downstairs bathroom with modern bath and walk-in shower, spacious utility room with back door and the oil-fired boiler. At the end of the hallway towards the northern end of the steading, you walk through the double set of oak framed glazed doors into the spacious yet cozy lounge, finished with a woodburning stove and french doors into the garden and outdoor seating area.

On the first floor of the steading are the bright, south-facing master bedroom with a Juliette balcony, as well as a double bedroom and shower room. The western wing of the steading offers great potential to be converted into a large open-plan kitchen and dining area with additional bedrooms at first floor level. This could provide up to four bedrooms in total or five if the current kitchen is removed and converted.

The property has the potential to become a luxurious and generously proportioned five bedroomed family home, or would be suited to multi-generational living. Whilst local authority consents have not been explored by the owners for the conversions, indicative layouts can be provided to give an idea of the future use of the space.

Across the courtyard from the house lies a versatile bothy. The ground floor of the bothy consists of kitchen and a bright and airy reception room with woodburning stove, adjoining shower room and storage. A set of stairs takes you to the first floor attic / storage room. Opportunities for the bothy are endless, be it as a work space, work-from-home business, holiday let or family annexe, subject to gaining necessary local authority consents.

Workshop

The steel portal frame workshop benefits from high eaves (suitable for machinery and HGV’s), three-phase power, mezzanine floor and hydraulic car ramp. The workshop provides an excellent and versatile space for additional storage as well as work space for the budding mechanic. With some minor reconfigurations, part of the building could be converted into stables for equine purposes.

Outside

Lush landscaped garden areas surround the property with ample space for children and pets to roam around, with pleasant seating areas for summer alfresco dining and BBQ’s.

Land

The land at West Thunderton comprises of approximately 4 acres of ground to the south of the steading complex. The land is currently utilised for equestrian grazing and is classed as grade 3(2) by the James Hutton Institute. The land comprises of two paddocks with field shelter and a pond in the south-west corner with a small wooden jetty.

The land is stockproof, with the land being bordered by a tall hedge along its eastern boundary as well as post and wire fencing. The land has the potential to be utilised for recreational or for small-scale agricultural purposes, with great potential for use by a budding horticulturalist.

Whilst requiring work and maintenance, the pond provides a fantastic opportunity for those with a nature/wildlife interest or suited for those looking to keep poultry and waterfowl.
