About this property
A beautiful family home with over an acre set on a private road
Offered to the open market for the first time since it was built in 1939, and set within the highly regarded Firs Walk, a private enclave of distinguished period homes, Minden Cottage occupies a magnificent plot of approximately 1.1 acres in a wonderful position backing directly onto open countryside. The property is approached via a sweeping driveway and sits well back within its mature gardens, providing an exceptional sense of space, privacy and seclusion. The space to the side and rear of the house offers substantial potential for enlargement, redevelopment or remodelling, subject to any necessary planning consents.
