Location
Thornbury House is located in the small village of Bedingfield, just a short way from St Mary’s Church and the village hall.  Further facilities can be found in the larger village of Debenham, which is approximately 4 miles to the south.  Debenham has a Co-operative supermarket, doctors surgery, vets practice, greengrocers, post office, hardware store, public house and tea rooms.  The property is in the catchment area for the well regarded Debenham High School.  There is also a primary school at Debenham and further primary schools in the nearby villages of Occold and Thorndon, both of which benefit from public houses.

The market town of Eye is approximately 5 miles to the north of the property, providing a range of independent local shops, two Co-operative supermarkets and a newsagent.  There are various eateries, including The Queen’s Head public house, two Chinese takeaways, a pizza takeaway and a fish and chip shop.  The town boasts the remains of a motte-and-bailey castle, as well as St Peter & Paul’s CEVA Primary School and Hartismere High School.  There is also a library, medical centre, community centre, playing field and a network of public footpaths.

There are further facilities in Diss, which is approximately 10 miles from the property.  Diss has direct rail services to both Norwich (17 minutes) and London’s Liverpool Street station (1 hour 20 minutes), and also offers Tesco, Morrison and Aldi supermarkets, as well as further schooling, restaurants, shops and services. The A140 lies to the west and links to the county’s dual carriageway network, as well as Norwich and the county town of Ipswich.

A UPVC glazed front door provides access to the reception hall.  Off this is a fully tiled cloakroom with WC, and access to the hallway.  Here there are stairs to the first floor landing and doors off to the breakfast room, kitchen and dining room.  The dual aspect dining room overlooks the front garden and has French doors opening out onto the rear patio and garden.  There is also a fireplace.  The breakfast room overlooks the front of the property and provides access to both the sitting room and kitchen.  The kitchen is fitted with high and low level wall units and has an integrated dishwasher and space for a range cooker.  There is a window overlooking the rear garden.  A door provides access to the utility room which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a fridge/freezer.  A door leads out to the rear garden.  The sitting room was converted from a garage in more recent years and is a most impressive and well proportioned room with windows to the front of the property and French doors opening to the rear garden.  There is a brick fireplace with bressummer beam above which is home to a woodburning stove on a pamment tiled hearth.  In once corner is the boiler cupboard.

Stairs in the ground floor hallway lead up to the first floor landing.  This has a built-in airing cupboard with hot water cylinder and slatted shelves.  Doors lead off to the four bedrooms and bathroom.  The principal double bedroom has a window to the front of the property which enjoys a view over a mature oak tree.  There are fitted wardrobes and access to a fully tiled en-suite shower room.  In addition are three further bedrooms that can be used as doubles.  One of these is currently fully fitted out as a dressing room with a excellent range of hanging rails, shelves and drawers.  In addition is a well-equipped family bathroom.
