Large outbuildings: double garage plus tandem double garage and workshops

Average broadband; council tax described as quite expensive
Located in village with good schools, transport links, and amenities
This substantial double-fronted Victorian detached house, built in 1871, sits on just under half an acre in the village of Minster. Five bedrooms, two en suites and three reception rooms give flexible family living alongside a separate study and conservatory. Original period features—high ceilings, fireplaces and chandeliers—remain throughout, providing character and scale.
Practical strengths include extensive parking, a double garage plus a tandem double garage, two workshops and multiple outbuildings. A large bank of solar panels on a favourable tariff and a separate solar hot-water array meaningfully reduce running costs; the owner reports energy bills are effectively neutral. Mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators serves the house.
The plot and layout offer clear scope for modernisation or extension subject to consent: the large garden, summerhouse, greenhouse and workshop space suit gardeners or those wanting home-based projects. The village location gives good road and rail links, local shops, pubs and a selection of well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby—appealing for families.
Material issues to note: the property is a solid-brick Victorian build with assumed no wall insulation and double glazing of unknown age, so thermal upgrades may be required to reach contemporary efficiency standards. Broadband speeds are average, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The wider area scores as deprived in local indices, which may influence future resale for some buyers.
