Elmley Road, Minster

Tucked-Away Tranquility – Four-Bedroom Detached Home on Generous Plot, Elmley Road

If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping to the countryside and living The Good Life, this gorgeous four-bedroom detached home offers just that – peace, privacy, and a lifestyle to savour.

Set back from Elmley Road and nestled on a generous, secluded plot, the home sits amid an abundance of nature – a haven for wildlife lovers, keen gardeners, or anyone who simply wants to enjoy fresh air, homegrown produce, and a slower pace of life.

The expansive rear garden is a true sanctuary, filled with mature fruit trees including apples, pears, and plums. There’s plenty of space for growing vegetables or even keeping chickens – fresh eggs and garden-to-table meals could soon become part of your daily routine.

To the front, the block-paved driveway offers generous parking and includes an EV charging point, while the tandem-length garage provides excellent storage or, subject to the relevant permissions, could be converted to suit your needs.

Step inside and you’ll find a home that is not only practical but packed with character. Designed with a subtle nod to its 1930s roots and inspired by Art Deco style, the exterior features off-white render and stylish grey windows – high-quality sash-style units that open in multiple directions, lock in place while open, and were chosen with summer fly screens in mind. These beautiful windows were a significant investment and demonstrate the thoughtful approach taken throughout.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen/living/dining area – a bright, sociable space lit by two large lantern roof windows, each with its own opening pane and handmade curtains. This stunning room is the perfect gathering spot, with a standout red Swedish log burner that not only adds eye-catching colour but is one of the most eco-friendly models available. It even swivels, allowing you to direct the heat exactly where you need it – ideal for cosy evenings in.

The vibrant interior is filled with individuality and warmth, reflecting the owner’s wonderfully eccentric spirit. From the deep red and jewel-toned walls to the cheerful personal touches – including handmade chair cushions to match the red cooker – every corner of the home tells a story.

There are four generous bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, plus a large family bathroom where you can soak away the day in peace. A handy utility room keeps laundry and muddy boots out of sight, and includes a walk-in pantry – perfect for preserving your homegrown bounty or storing supplies for hearty home cooking.

Charming little details abound, like the bespoke “mouse house” nightlight that once guided visiting grandchildren, and thoughtful design decisions that add depth, comfort, and timeless appeal.

And best of all, this truly special home is offered chain-free, giving you a smooth path to your new country lifestyle.
