About this space
A rare opportunity to stay in a truly beautiful period home in Kippford, one of the most beautiful villages in the region.
Directly on the banks of the estuary with spectacular views, the house can easily accommodate up to 10 guests with spacious, traditionally styled rooms oozing with character and period features.
The large mature gardens and spectacular scenery are perfect for the summer months with the house itself the ideal cosy setting for a magical festive getaway or winter break.
The space
Arrive in Kippford and you will drive along the most charming winding road on the banks of the estuary where you will discover Thornleigh.
A period Arts & Crafts house built in the 1920s, Thornleigh sits in an elevated position overlooking the estuary to take full advantage of the spectacular views (on a clear day it is possible to see the Lake District across the Solway Firth!)
On arrival, you will find enough space on the private driveway for up to 4 cars and will be greeted by beautiful, mature gardens.
On the ground floor you will find the spacious, fully equipped kitchen and breakfast area, large sitting room with sun lounge, snug/TV room and downstairs cloakroom with WC.
Climb the stairs with stunning original banisters, to be greeted with a large, midway landing that has two absolutely charming and cosy reading nooks, complete with a selection of books these are the perfect hideaways to enjoy a glass of wine and a good read and are spaces that children just adore and will quickly will adopt as their own!
Moving up to the first floor here you will find all four bedrooms and the main shower room.
The master bedroom has it's own en-suite bathroom, sofa and small table and chairs strategically placed to make the most of the breathtaking views. Bedroom 2 also looks out toward the estuary whilst bedrooms 3 & 4 have views to the rear and side of the house.
Thornleigh really is a special home with a truly traditional, period feel and we can't wait to welcome you!
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire house other than a small locked room on the first floor which is used to store a few of our own personal items.
