Accommodation

This beautiful and unusual period property is approached over a gravel driveway shared with the neighbouring property with stone pilasters either side, which then leads to a private driveway with sufficient parking for three vehicles. From the driveway an area of gravel pathway leads to French doors beneath a decorative arch leading into the main entrance hallway with stairs to the first floor, archway through to the inner hall and door under the stairs giving access to the cellar. Proceeding into the inner hallway, steps lead down to a doorway into the main living room with a bay to the side with French doors giving access to the side courtyard and a traditional fireplace. A door to the rear of the living room leads into a beautiful large kitchen diner with a curved wall across the rear expanse of the room fitted with a range of floor and drawer units under a roll edge worktop with inset sink and drainer, plumbing for washing machine and space for a fridge freezer. A box sash window and casement window overlook the rear garden. On the opposing wall, an original chimney breast is inset with a dual fuel range cooker with electric ovens and six burner hob. A window to the side and door give access into the new extension with a side hallway with stone flooring and door to the side courtyard, door leading into the ground floor shower room which is fitted with a modern suite of low-level WC, wash hand basin and a large wet room shower area with glass wall and access door as well as a window to the side. A door from the rear of the side hallway leads into the new extension reception room (which is currently used as a bedroom) with glazing partially to both sides and a set of patio doors leading out to the rear garden.

Heading back to the main entrance hallway stairs lead up to a long landing extending the full length of the property with the master bedroom at the rear. This beautiful room has a curved wall extending across the rear elevation with a box sash window overlooking the garden and a further casement window to the side, as well as built-in wardrobes. Moving back along the landing, bedroom three has a traditional fireplace and a box sash window to the side. Next to this is the beautiful traditional bathroom with a freestanding rolltop bath, traditional high-level cistern WC, wash hand basin and a box sash window to the side. A small flight of steps at the end of the landing (with storage cupboard beneath) then leads up to bedroom two which has a traditional fireplace and box sash window to the side.

The door beneath the stairs in the main entrance hallway lead down a flight of stairs into the cellar which has a brick paved floor and provides a useful storage and utility area.

Outside

From the driveway and main entrance area, a gate in a high brick wall leads down steps to the side courtyard garden with access into both the living room and extension side hallway and is paved with York stone paving which extends around the side of the property linking with the rear patio.

The rear garden has a large patio area providing seating and entertaining space, with steps then leading down to a lawn split into two terraces separated by wooden sleepers with a gravel path to the side of the garden leading to the rear. The garden is closed by low level brick walling with lap fencing above and a pedestrian access gate at the rear.
