Keldgate, Beverley, HU17

If you are looking for a period house that isn’t sprawling but still want good sized rooms and period style this lovely house could be perfect for you.  With 1,588 square feet of floor space (a minimum of compromised head height to the loft) it has a lot to offer. The property has been a much loved home for over 20 years but is now in need of some upgrading.  Its proximity to the town centre and rear garden, are also likely to be very appealing. The ground floor comprises a good sized entrance hall leading to two substantial receptions rooms, with an elegant living room to the front and a spacious dining room to the rear.  There is a fitted kitchen with a bathroom beyond.  As there is a first floor bathroom we expect most buyers to convert this to another use such as a utility room or study.  An attractive turn staircase leads to the first floor.  To the first floor is a spacious main double bedroom with a further smaller double bedroom with stripped and varnished period floor boards.  The rear room of the first floor is devoted to providing a very large shower room.  As it has two doors off the landing, it offers the opportunity of being split into two, or it could accommodate a larger bathroom suite and allow for a dressing area.  To the second floor is a loft room, presumed to have been used as a bedroom though it is unlikely to comply with current building regulations for its use as such.  It is a large space and the exposed timbers provide great character and the southerly facing rooflights ensure a lot of natural light. Without work to bring it up to current regulations for use as a bedroom it may well make a great home office, studio or other useful space.  The property benefits from gas central heating and has double or secondary double glazing to most windows. To the rear of the property there is a garden with a large area of decking immediately to the rear of the house which will need replacing or removing.  The gardens extend further to the rear, tapering towards the end with areas of paving, lawn, beds and borders.  A passageway, which this property has the sole use of, leads to the front providing useful garden access and also storage for bikes and other items. The property will need upgrading by the majority of purchasers but offers lots of space, character, large room proportions, a garden and a central Beverley location.  An early internal inspection is highly recommended.
