Brize Norton Road, Minster Lovell

THE PROPERTY:

An immaculate double fronted mid-century family house, with a substantial workshop, and plenty of parking, offered to the market for the first time in over four decades.

Off the central hall is a cloakroom, and is flanked by reception rooms to either side. The light double-aspect living room has a gas coal-effect fire set within a polished stone hearth and mantel, with wide patio doors that connects to the beautiful garden. A separate dining room provides the kind of dedicated entertaining space increasingly rare in contemporary houses, with a door to the extended kitchen at the heart of the home. Here crisp cream gloss cabinetry pairs with expansive contrasting work surfaces, and the high specification runs to a dishwasher, twin ovens, microwave, ceramic hob and washing machine, with generous provision for an American-style fridge freezer.

Upstairs, four bedrooms — one currently configured as a home office — are served by a family bathroom, and a notably wide landing presents a credible case for a loft conversion, subject to the usual consents, with room sufficient to accommodate a second staircase flight without compromise.

Outside, the garden has been shaped over many years into something of real distinction: a brick-edged serpentine terrace fringes a shaped lawn enclosed by well-established borders and effective screening that ensures a genuine sense of privacy and seclusion. To the front there is generous parking and a drive to an attached single domestic garage.

Of particular note is a substantial 840 sq. ft outbuilding — fitted with light, power and an inspection pit — held on a separate freehold title (ON211359) and included within the sale of the main title (ON254157), offering considerable scope for the classic car enthusiast, tradesperson or those requiring serious ancillary workspace
