Thorns Farmhouse An impressive and traditionally styled Grade II listed farmhouse, dating from the mid 18th century. Extending to some 3,028 sq ft the property provides spacious family living accommodation over two principal floors. The property is in need of refurbishment and modernisation, but offers excellent potential to acquire a period house of character. The property retains many original and period features throughout. The sitting room and dining room are located on either side of the main entrance, and both feature ornate fireplaces which could be reinstated to their original character. The large kitchen and breakfast room could create an elegant and spacious country kitchen. There is a good-sized utility room found adjacent the kitchen, and this leads into a compact room which could be used as a snug or study area. Stairs in the reception hall lead down to the cellar. Two sets of stairs lead to the first floor where there are five well-proportioned bedrooms. All the bedrooms are of a good size, with three being particularly generous. The two family bathrooms are both very spacious. Grantham's mainline station provides a regular direct train service to London Kings Cross of just over an hour.
