Having undergone a full refurbishment in April 2021, Thornley House offers 12 luxury self-contained apartments. Each apartment is unique in shape and size, but all have their own front door. Video phone security is installed in every property. Access to the property is via a secure intercom system.
Thornley House has a beautiful heritage communal room, that blends comfort with style, where residents can meet up, for coffee afternoons or book clubs and other activities they might enjoy, or just a chat, if they wish to do so.
There is a small, enclosed courtyard which provides a great sun trap for those sunny days, with a wooden patio table and chairs, ideal for relaxing, or reading a book, in finer weather.
The apartments all have a living room, bedroom, kitchen with quality fitted units, electric cooker and hob and wet rooms in the bathroom. Some rooms are open plan living room kitchen, some have separate living room/kitchen. All apartments have their own lockable front door and benefit from good quality flooring and carpets.
The Occupation Charge covers all building maintenance and repairs. Grounds maintenance is also included for all year-round enjoyment of the conservation site.
There are extensive landscaped grounds and pathways, a smaller picturesque garden to the rear with a greenhouse, which is available to residents, and is surrounded by countryside views from all perspectives.
Communal activities with charitable partners are often provided and you can participate as much or as little as you like. Residents also benefit from access to social events provided on site by our Registered Care Home, Beddell House.
