A grand period semi detached town house over three floorsoffering almost 2500 sq feet of internal accommodation in a sought aftercentral Beverley location.  Currently providing up to 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms this lovely comfortable family home has been significantly enhancedwith a modern ground floor living kitchen extension which means it offersperiod style and grandeur with more modern comfort.  A lawned rear gardenand covered parking to the rear round off what is a significant opportunity.

 

The current occupiers have made the property their familyhome for over 20 years and it has been much loved.  Despite the centrallocation the property enjoys a relatively open outlook to the front over theplaying fields of the Minster School.  This aspect combines with thealmost south facing frontage and large windows including the ground floor baywindow to provide significant natural light.  The property retains manyperiod features including impressively deep skirting boards to the hallway andfront reception room, high ceilings, ceiling mouldings and roses, fireplaces,doors and coloured lights.  It benefits from gas fired central heating aswell as under floor heating to the kitchen extension and has significant levelsof double glazing, a mixture of double glazed units inserted into the originalsash windows and replacement uPVC double glazing.  The excellent groundfloor provision supports excellent bedroom accommodation with 4 doublebedrooms, a decent sized single and then a further single bedroom currentlyused as a study.  There are bathrooms to both bedroom floors and thebathroom at the front of the first floor offers the potential to create adedicated en suite to the master bedroom as well as a house shower room. There is a separate WC to the first floor and also a ground floor WC cloaks.

The internal offering is complemented by what is availableoutside.  There is a good sized forecourt to the front of the housesetting it back from the road.  To the rear there is a walled largelylawned garden and beyond that lies a covered parking space with attached goodsized secure timber storage shed.  Vehicular access is via the serviceroad off Albert Terrace and there is a good level of turning space into theparking area.

A really lovely, spacious family home in a great location withfew of the limitations that can be experienced with town centre periodproperties   It has been well looked after and improved by thecurrent owners but may also present an opportunity for an extensiverefurbishment to suit a new owner’s specific requirements.  An earlyinternal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that is onoffer but in the short term our 360 degree tour will provide an excellentoverview of this lovely property.
