Property description
Believed to date back over 200 years is this very UNIQUE DETACHED THREE DOUBLE BEDROOM HOME . Minster has been in the same ownership for over 35 years and has been EXTENSIVELY REFURBISHED over this time by retaining and maintaining SEVERAL ORIGINAL FEATURES and incorporating modern day comforts. These features can clearly be seen from the moment you operate the pull for the brass entry bell and throughout the accommodation, including period tiled flooring, part wood panelling to the hall and staircase walls, curtain pelmet and cornice. There are side and rear gardens, a soft fruit area with greenhouse, double carport, workshop, storage shed and log store. The property is adjacent to the main road through the village of Whitchurch, slightly elevated and therefore offering countryside views from the front aspect.
