Minchview
Dating from 1861, the house has evolved over the years, with the original stables converted and sympathetic extensions added, creating a home full of character and charm while providing excellent space for modern family life. Approached through the enclosed walled garden, the property immediately reveals its appeal. A mature wisteria frames the front of the house, while the beautifully planted garden creates a wonderfully private and welcoming setting. The traditional vestibule opens into a welcoming reception hall, from which the principal rooms lead off. The ground floor accommodation is particularly versatile, including a useful bedroom with an adjacent bathroom, making it equally suited to family living, guests or those seeking single-level accommodation. The reception and entertaining spaces are warm and inviting, with character features including large, shuttered windows, attractive stoves and an abundance of natural light. A comfortable snug and dining room provide excellent spaces for relaxing and entertaining, while the generous breakfasting kitchen has a stylish country-house feel. Well-appointed and practical, the kitchen also provides direct external and a useful pantry cupboard. To the front of the house, the more formal sitting room enjoys attractive feature windows and a further stove, creating a cosy and elegant principal reception space. Beyond this, a superb sunroom provides an additional room to enjoy throughout the seasons, with a wonderfully private outlook across the colourful landscaped gardens. Upstairs, the landing leads to two generous double bedrooms, both enjoying the character and proportions associated with the period of the property. A contemporary shower room completes the first-floor accommodation. The garden is undoubtedly one of Minchview's outstanding features. Mature and full of colour and interest, it includes established perennial borders, a vegetable garden, raised beds and fruit trees, together with numerous secluded spots in which to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The enclosed nature of the garden provides a wonderful degree of privacy and creates a tranquil setting rarely found within the village. Across the road, the property also benefits from its own garage, providing valuable additional parking, storage or workshop space. -
