About
A Beautifully Crafted Village Home with Character, Charm and Views Towards the Church, No Onward Chain | Little Acorns, Thornborough The Home Little Acorns is a home with a wonderful story behind it.
The current owners purchased the property brand new in 2004, having moved from Aylesbury to Thornborough to enjoy a peaceful village lifestyle in retirement.
They quickly found exactly what they were looking for, becoming active members of the local community and enjoying the friendly atmosphere where neighbours, dog walkers and horse riders would regularly stop for a chat and look out for one another.
Although built in 2004, Little Acorns forms part of an exclusive development of just two homes and was designed with exceptional attention to detail.
Character features including exposed beams, beautiful views towards the village church and quality craftsmanship give the home a charm that is rarely found in a modern property.
Arranged over three floors, the home has been thoughtfully designed to offer comfortable and versatile accommodation, blending practical modern living with timeless character.
The owners affectionately named the house Little Acorns, inspired by the abundance of oak used throughout the home and their love of the saying, "From little acorns mighty oaks grow." It became a fitting name for a property that brought them so much happiness over the years.
Around 2013, the original kitchen and study were thoughtfully combined to create a much larger, high-quality kitchen, with the works completed under Building Regulations approval.
The result is a spacious and sociable heart of the home, complete with a Rangemaster Classic black ceramic electric range cooker and integrated appliances.
The living room provides a warm and welcoming place to relax, centred around a Stovax inset wood-burning stove, while the exposed beams throughout the ground floor continue the home's characterful feel.
One of the property's most striking architectural features is the beautiful arched staircase window, allowing natural light to flood through the home, complemented by the unique porthole window on the second-floor landing.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, complete with a beautiful roll-top claw-foot bath, adding further character and a touch of luxury.
Practical features include two boarded loft spaces, both with lighting and accessed via crawl-in doors within the eaves, providing excellent additional storage.
The Garden The rear garden enjoys a desirable south-west facing aspect, creating an enjoyable outdoor space throughout the afternoon and evening.
A powered garden shed provides useful storage or workshop potential.
To the front, the attractive block-paved driveway offers off-road parking for at least three large vehicles, with additional space available to the side of the property if required.
The Location Situated on Back Street in the picturesque Buckinghamshire village of Thornborough, Little Acorns enjoys a peaceful setting within the village conservation area.
For the current owners, the location was every bit as special as the home itself.
They found a genuine sense of community, making lifelong friendships through local groups and societies and enjoying the welcoming atmosphere that makes village life so rewarding.
Beautiful views towards the village church and the friendly nature of those passing by each day became part of what made living here so enjoyable. The property is being sold with no onward chain.
EPC Rating: D Garden South-west facing rear garden with powered garden shed.
Parking - Driveway Block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for at least three vehicles, with additional space down the side and at the front of the house.
