Property description
This property is an impressive late Victorian detached family home in the countryside on the outskirts of the charming village of Minster. Driving through the gate you are immediately drawn to the delightful front garden with its lovely pond, a border of mature shrubs and trees and a high hedge providing seclusion and privacy. Once through the storm porch and the oak front door the welcoming hallway with its high ceilings leads you to the ground floor accommodation where you will find a wealth of period feature including attractive ceiling cornices, dado and picture rails.
There is a light and bright sitting room with a glazed door to the hall that is an ideal spot for relaxing over a cup of coffee, while the stunning lounge/dining room is just the place for entertaining friends and for family celebrations. With its beamed ceiling, inglenook fireplace and brick built bar it has the wow factor from the moment you walk into it. From here you can wander out into the easily maintained garden through the French doors. A brand new utility room and kitchen/breakfast room provides everything you need to cook up a storm and will inevitably become the hub of the household. It includes a wide range of beautiful cream units, a built in double oven and gas hob, an integrated fridge and dishwasher as well as an Aga and an American style fridge/freezer in the utility area with its stable door to the outside. There is also a little office with an adjacent cloakroom that is ideal for anyone working from home.
On the half landing you will find a magnificent new bathroom with a corner bath, a half circular shower and beautiful porcelain tiles. On the first floor the four good sized bedrooms include a plethora of period features and fitted wardrobes. As well as a second shower room located between the two front bedrooms. The attic is the footprint of the entire house and creates a large space that could be used as an extra room or provide plenty of additional storage. In the rear garden there is a delightful covered seating area where you can watch the many species of birds that live in the hedgerows and a 21ft garage that can accommodate both a small and a large car.
What the Owner says:
We really love the fact that our home is in the countryside yet just under a mile from Minster and not far from the various sandy beaches that Thanet is so famous for. Living in a big, beautiful house that is full of character provides us with comfort and security. It is also very peaceful and quiet. However, we intend to work full time in Asia so feel it is time to sell our home. Over the past four years since we have been living in the house full time we have thoroughly enjoyed refurbishing it to a high standard and feel that it is ready for a new family to move straight into. We have not only installed a new kitchen and bathrooms but have ensured that all the old wiring and pipe work has been removed and many of the walls have been re-plastered.
Minster is a truly delightful Kentish village. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and it offers everything you need for day to day living. It includes a number of pubs and a variety of restaurants from haute cuisine to McDonalds, fish and chips, Indian and Chinese. There is a Londis supermarket as well as a butcher, baker and greengrocer, hairdressers and a beauty salon, post office, newsagent, library and individual shops. There is an excellent primary school in the village and another in Monkton, a modern doctor’s surgery, clinic, pharmacy, private dental practice, as well as a veterinary surgery and grooming parlour.
