Outside
From Mintys Hill a gated entrance opens to a sweeping driveway that ascends the hill, following a route through the lower gardens to a wide expanse of parking and turning space to the front of the house. From here there is access to the DOUBLE GARAGE with twin sets of wooden doors, overhead storage, electricity connected and personal door to side. The driveway continues to the side of the house where there is a further parking area and a brick built, open fronted LOG STORE.
The lower section of garden is shaped by the contours of Mintys Hill and a historic chalk pit, from which the name of the house is derived. The garden is laid principally to lawn with several deep, mature shrub and flower beds, with the lawn wrapping around the house on the side and rear elevations. From the driveway a set of steps lead to a patio/seating area designed to catch the afternoon and evening sun. Accessible from various points within the house, the patio continues to the side and rear of the house with a feature raised rose garden and retaining brick wall and offers generous outdoor entertaining/dining/relaxing space. In the upper north-west corner of the garden is a greenhouse, a number of raised vegetable beds and the large oil tank. This productive area is screened from the house by a summerhouse with electricity connected; to the front of which stands a further patio/seating area.
At the foot of the driveway is a versatile BARN, which is currently utilised as a HOME GYM with electric and light connected and a useful internal STORE ROOM. We understand that there was historic planning permission (Application No. 13/11096) for conversion to a holiday letting unit.
Opposite the entrance is a field gate that gives access to PADDOCK of approximately 1.47 acres that runs down to the village winter bourne. Within the field is a timber SHELTER.
