6 The Property Constructed of handsome stuccoed elevations under a pitched slate roof, Thorne Barton Hall is an elegant family home of Victorian origins. More recently, a substantial garage wing has been added with further accommodation above. Internally the house combines light and spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom accommodation on the first floor. Of particular note is the drawing room which has beautiful proportions and like all the principal reception rooms, good high ceilings. The drawing room is centred on an attractive open fireplace and enjoys outstanding views over the gardens, grounds and the Chiltern Hills beyond. On the first floor the bedrooms are all light and airy. There is currently a separate, self-contained flat which could be incorporated back into the principal accommodation, if required. The garage extension has provided an extensively large first floor room currently used for storage but suitable for a full sized snooker table.
