Foston-on-the-wolds, YO25

Council tax band: B.

Rose Cottage is an individual detached cottage that offers great potential for alteration/extension and comes with a superb purpose-built workshop that will appeal to a wide variety of hobbyists, particularly anyone who likes to tinker with vehicles.   The rather modest cottage benefits from a modern kitchen fitted in 2021 and a bathroom fitted in 2019; however, the first-floor accommodation currently has restricted headroom, which interested parties may wish to try to alter, and an opportunity also exists for the large adjoining shed to be converted into living accommodation (subject to any necessary consent). The property is single-glazed, and although it has oil-fired heating, the boiler needs replacing.  The workshop can only be used for non-commercial purposes.

Location
Rose Cottage is located within the sought-after and unspoiled conservation Village of Foston-on-the-Wolds. The Village lies 6.5 miles To the east of the Market Town of Driffield, 13 miles from the east coast Town of Bridlington, and 16 miles to the northeast of Beverley. The City of Hull, with direct rail connections to London, is less than 40 minutes drive away. Foston is a picturesque and unspoiled Wolds village located in an excellent position for access to the surrounding Towns and Cities.
