REFERENCE BA0665 Ben Appella

A fine period home dating to about 1890 centrally located within this picturesque village, occupying a good size plot of about 0.25 acre in total, backing onto fields and offering views distant. Having been the subject of great improvement and expenditure by my clients the property presents very well indeed. For example windows have been replaced by handmade double glazed units and frames. Great care and attention to detail has been taken to ensure that the inherent character of this property has been retained. Externally there is a range of outbuildings that could have a variety of uses, whether that be workshops, holiday accommodation, stabling or simply storage. In addition, there is a sizeable double garage that could be converted to a home studio or similar, subject to local consents, building regulation approval and planning permission. The two driveways provide ample parking for several vehicles. Internally all rooms are very well proportioned, with the ground floor providing two very good sized reception rooms, a fitted solid wood kitchen, utility/boot room, pantry and cloakroom. The first floor comprises four double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

LOCATION: This particular property is centrally located within the village and falls within the conservation area. There is a village pub, church and active village hall. The village of Cherry Burton falls about 1 mile distance and offers a village shop/post office, pub, village hall and recreation field. For a more comprehensive range of shops, restaurants, pubs and leisure facilities the market town of Beverley is found about 4 miles to the south east. For those that enjoy outdoor pursuits, there is an abundance of open countryside on the doorstep with many bridleways and safe walking routes.

ACCOMMODATION:

The property occupies a wide plot with a well shaped hedge, central hardwood gate and two further hardwood gates giving access to driveways to either side of the property forming the front boundary. A path leads to the solid wood front door, which in turn gives access to the entrance hall with two attractive arch shaped windows to either side, and Victorian style Karndean flooring.

LOUNGE: A delightful and comfortable front aspect room that is filled with natural light from its southerly aspect. A nice focal point to this room is the original Victorian working fireplace with decorative surround, tiled slips and hearth. Ample storage is provided to either side with two large storage cupboards and shelving above. There are four wall light points and oak effect Karndean flooring.

DINING ROOM: This is another well proportioned and comfortable room located to the front of the property that affords a great space for family dining. The replica Victorian fireplace has a tiled hearth and is fitted with a wood-burning stove, creating a very pleasant focal point to this room. To either side, are two bespoke glass fronted display cabinets with lighting and storage cupboards below, as commissioned by my clients. There is a further under-stairs cupboard and the oak effect Karndean flooring compliments the room very well.

OUTBUILDINGS: There are a comprehensive range of outbuildings that could have a wide range of potential uses dependent upon individual requirements; whether this be a home office, workshop, storage or as stables and tack room. There may also be an opportunity to convert such to provide ancillary accommodation and this would, of course, be subject to local planning and building regulation consent being granted. There is also a coal store, oil tank storage shed, and Gardener's wash room.

DOUBLE GARAGE: This is detached from the house and provides a great space for the home mechanic, with power and lighting. Fitted with solid wood, electrically operated doors.

GARDENS: There is a brick yard adjacent to the rear of the house that gives access to the three outhouses. The rear garden is enclosed and offers a good level of privacy. The majority of the area is lawned, has mature trees and established planting to beds and boundaries. The whole backs onto open fields and provides a superb and tranquil backdrop to this wonderful environment. A sunroom with light and adjoining decking provides a nice spot from where to enjoy relaxing summer days.

FRONT GARDEN: There is a small area of lawn with a flower bed immediately to the front of the property with an established hedge fronting the southern boundary, which is bisected by a replacement hand-built hardwood pedestrian wooden gate. There are two driveways, both accessed by handmade hardwood wooden gates, that were replaced about three years ago, one of which leads to the double garage and provides parking for three to four vehicles. The second driveway provides further parking. A block paved slope with adjacent steps leads to the rear garden. Another nice feature to the front garden is an original period street lamp that was refurbished last year with solar lighting.
