High Street, Minster, CT12

Geek are enchanted to reveal a home that is just that – steeped in mythical monk stories. This detached cottage was allegedly a holder of village secrets. Built in 1704; medieval England in all its glory and here in Minster, once known as the ancient capital of Thanet.

You can’t help but feel this home’s history reverberate within its 16th-century walls — yet, refreshingly, it’s NOT a listed building, giving you the rare freedom to make it your own. Envisage a modern home with a twist, steeped in centuries of character

The low beamed ceilings; the wooden latched doors; the crooks and the cranies; the central staircase; the original cupboards collectively illuminate the houses’ period, charm and past.

Downstairs, the livings spaces are, what Geek, would call substantial in size, together with a further two rooms, that, whilst currently comprising of an office and a study, could easily be altered depending on your needs. The kitchen space is split into two and lends itself to a wealth of creativity; you will find double doors that lead to the outside.

Upstairs over two floors are four bedrooms, where the vibe of the early 18th century continues to emanate from the prolific character of the house. There are two upstairs ensuite bathroom/shower rooms, both of, what geek would describe as, generously proportioned, and there is also a contemporary fitted shower room downstairs. On the top floor is an eaves bedroom that runs the length of the house.

The garden is mostly shrouded in tall trees and hardy well stocked shrubs creating a virtual enclosure and projects a sense of ‘removal from the world’, which is rather evocative.

There is such space for scope and personal stylising, it needs to be seen!

We would love to take you to see for yourself and to see if you can make this your new home.
