Description
MINT BARN is a fantastic two double bedroom link detached property forming part of an intimate courtyard development made up of former stone farm outbuildings that were creatively converted in the late 1990’s. The property has been loved and enjoyed by the same owner since 2006 and is presented in good order through out with the spacious accommodation comprising two double bedrooms, two reception rooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen.
The property offers a new owner the opportunity to enjoy an easy to maintain property in a quiet semi rural location that’s still only a short distance from the centre of Shaftesbury. Further benefits include a spacious car port, allocated visitor parking and no onward chain.
