House For Sale £450,000
This home MUST be viewed to truly appreciate what lies beyond its façade, which hides its secret well. This appealing four bedroom property offers bright and spacious accommodation with nearly 2000 square feet (185 sq. m) of living space, arranged over three floors with multi-functional room usage and is presented to the market with the bonus of no onward chain. The property is situated in the desirable and sought-after village of Iwerne Minster, within an easy walk to facilities, which include a shop with post office, a public house and playground. There is also a church with an impressive spire and the independent day/boarding school of Clayesmore, which also has a sports centre. The property is believed to have formed part of the piggery of Home Farm and was converted into a residential dwelling in the 1960s. It has been a much loved and enjoyed home to our seller for the last fifteen years. During this time it has been very well maintained and improved. Both the en-suites have been updated with new suites and attractive hard wearing Travertine flooring has been laid in the kitchen /dining room. This lovely home benefits from oil fired central heating, uPVC double glazing and has a pretty cottage style garden with a timber cabin at the bottom, which offers flexible usage. An early viewing is strongly urged to avoid missing out on the chance to be the next owner of this fabulous home.
