Approached via a sweeping driveway with electric gates, the property enjoys an immediate sense of arrival. Ample parking is available to the front, while the mature gardens feature an extensive variety of flowering plants, shrubs and specimen trees. The expansive front lawn, once enjoyed as a private tennis court by the current owners’ family, provides a wonderful focal point and highlights the scale of the grounds. A bright glazed entrance porch opens into a welcoming entrance hall. The main reception room overlooks the front gardens and offers an excellent space for both everyday family living and entertaining. The spacious dining room has been extended and benefits from sliding doors opening onto the patio and gardens beyond. To the front of the house, the sunroom is flooded with natural light and enjoys direct access to the patio, while a solid-fuel stove creates a warm and cosy atmosphere during the colder months. To the rear, the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room provides generous workspace and storage, complemented by a large separate utility room. A guest WC and an integrated garage complete the accommodation at ground floor level. Upstairs, a bright and airy landing provides access to the attic via a pull-down staircase and to the hot press. There are five generously proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from ensuite facilities, while three feature built-in wardrobes. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation. One of Mineview’s most outstanding features is its magnificent mature gardens. Extending to approx. 1 acre, the grounds have been lovingly cultivated over many years and now provide a wonderful blend of privacy, colour and year-round interest. Large, secluded lawns to both the front and rear are bordered by an abundance of mature trees, flowering plants and established shrubbery, creating a truly idyllic setting. The gardens offer endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, family enjoyment or further landscaping, while also providing significant potential for future extension of the property, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The location is exceptional, offering an enviable balance of privacy and convenience.
