Thornbank, Park Road, Johnstone, PA5 8LS

‘Thornbank’ is a stunning example of a traditional sandstone villa set in a much sought after Johnstone address, that has been architecturally extended creating a beautiful family home set in circa one third of an acre of mature garden grounds.

The property has been sympathetically upgraded whilst retaining the character and features you would expect in such a home, formerly owned by only four owners since its original construction in 1892.

The outer leaf double storm doors open to the entrance vestibule and broad reception hallway. The bay window formal dining room is to the front and has a feature fireplace with newly installed gas fire. The lounge is also to the front with again a feature fireplace with another newly installed gas fire. The study overlooks the garden to the rear and completing this section of the ground floor is a fully tiled shower room.

What is apparent as you walk through the property is the attention to detail no more an example of which is when you enter the fabulous breakfast kitchen. The detailed plaster work is exceptional and is showcased in the curved ceiling to the rooflight above the breakfast bar. The detail extends to an original arrow slit window too, just another example of the quality of the workmanship in this beautiful home. Off the kitchen is a fully plumbed utility room with side door to the garden. The kitchen itself is of a contemporary design and has a breakfast bar as well as space for a dining table at the rear with patio doors leading to the deck and gardens.

There is a lovely stairwell with original balustrade that leads to the first floor passing a beautiful stained glass arch window that throws light down the stairwell and the upper hallway. There are four bedrooms accessed from the generous landing. The principal bedroom has a bay window and further newly installed gas fire. Two of the bedrooms have double aspects windows. Completing the accommodation is the house bathroom.  

The specification includes ‘Hive’ controlled gas central heating and attic storage.

There are two separate patio areas capturing the sun as it moves around the property and two sheds. There is also a further storage cupboard on the side elevation.
