DESCRIPTION
Minterne is a substantial detached chalet bungalow which occupies a particularly generous plot on the cusp of the sought after village of Saltwood. The property appears to have been maintained impeccably for the current owner and now offers beautifully presented accommodation which is of particularly comfortable proportions.
The versatile accommodation is currently arranged to provide an entrance vestibule opening to the welcoming entrance hall which leads to the dining room which has an archway connecting it to the sitting room. There is also a large kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining utility room, principal bedroom with adjoining shower room, study (or fourth bedroom) and a cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor there is a spacious landing with a walk-in airing cupboard and leading to two generous double bedrooms and a bathroom.
The property is approached via a long block paved driveway which provides ample off road parking and turning for a number of vehicles and access to the detached garage. To the rear the garden is largely laid to lawn and enjoys a southerly aspect. The gardens extend to either side of Minterne and provide a delightfully secluded environment for alfresco dining and entertaining.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
