Property for sale in Thornbury
A town crowned by its castle
Situated in South Gloucestershire, Thornbury is a picturesque market town that draws inspiration for modern living from its storied past.
Built between 1511 and 1521 for Edward Stafford, the 3rd Duke of Buckingham, Thornbury Castle – the centrepiece of the town – now serves as a luxury hotel. This Grade I listed building, where King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn stayed in 1535, offers a tangible connection to Tudor England. The town's historic charm is further exemplified by St. Mary’s Church, a striking example of Gothic architecture that has stood as a spiritual center for centuries. Surrounding the church, the conservation area reveals Thornbury's medieval street pattern, with narrow lanes and traditional stone walls that whisper tales of yesteryears.
Thornbury's high street is the vibrant heart of the community, lined with independent shops, cafés, and traditional pubs, and further bolstered by regular markets and local events. The property market offers a diverse range of options. The town center features charming period properties, while areas like Castle Street and Park Road are particularly sought after for their proximity to amenities and historical significance. Additionally, newer developments on the town's outskirts provide more modern options.
Beyond the town's boundaries, Thornbury's location is ideal for nature enthusiasts. Situated near the scenic landscapes of the Cotswolds and the Mendip Hills – both designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty – it offers ample opportunities for outdoor activities. Thornbury's proximity to the M4 and M5 motorways also ensures convenient access to nearby cities, with Bristol just 12 miles to the south, offering a balance between tranquil living and city spoils.
