The lounge is a good size, having two sliding sash windows to the side, French doors to the conservatory. A multi-fuel stove is set in a handsome Hamstone fireplace with red brick backing, which creates a wonderful focal point.
The conservatory is constructed with a wood and glass frame on a low wall with a polycarbonate roof. This room requires repair. It has a tiled floor and French doors that open to the garden.
The dining room has a window to the front, and a Villager multi-fuel stove is set in a red brick fireplace.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room with a vaulted ceiling, Velux roof light, two windows and French doors open to the rear. One and a half bowl ceramic sink unit with a drainer to one side has a mixer tap over and a storage cupboard under.

The Aga is included in the sale, with space for an under-counter fridge, freezer, and plumbing for a dishwasher.

Stairs rise to the second floor landing, having an eaves storage cupboard housing a water tank and doors leading to bedroom four with an ensuite and bedroom five.
Outside - Extending to approximately half an acre, the garden is found to the rear side of the property, landscaped in the country style, which is a credit to the current owners' hard work. Largely laid to lawn with a mixture of mature shrubs, trees and beds housing a variety of plants and flowers.
The wisteria to the side elevation is wonderful. The River Parrett runs along the Eastern boundary, offering a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the view over to the field beyond. There is a generous fenced vegetable bed and a separate area for chickens.
A gravelled driveway gives vehicular access to an open carport for 2-3 cars, provides ample parking and turning space.
Outbuilding: Formally a dairy to the original farm. The building is split into three distinct areas: a carport, a garden store and a workshop. It would now benefit from some repair or offer a good footprint for development replacement. The roof maybe asbestos; it has not been tested.
Situation - Thorney is a small and popular hamlet between Muchelney and Kingsbury Episcopi. Wonderful countryside, walking and fishing, yet a few minutes to the ever-popular Kingsbury community shop and pub. Thorney lies less than 3 miles from Langport and 4 miles from South Petherton, both towns offering a wide range of facilities, fulfilling most day to day needs, with the larger towns of Taunton and Yeovil being less than 20 miles and 10 miles respectively.
