ONE OF BEVERLEY'S FINEST TOWN HOUSES WITH A WALLED GARDEN OF ABOUT O.3 OF AN ACRE.

This distinctive Georgian town residence is one of very few homes of its size and character in Beverley and as such it has a Grade II* listing. The extensive accommodation, which contains eight bedrooms and three reception rooms, has a delightful array of impressive architectural features of the period, having been built between 1726 and 1734. The house is being offered to the market for the first time in fifty years and is an opportunity to acquire a forever home which now requires a 21st century makeover as comprehensive modernisation is required. The property already features a 35ft living kitchen which could be fitted to a buyer's personal specification. Standing in approximately 0.3 of an acre of land, the house has a very attractive garden, almost entirely enclosed by brick walls and this includes a large garage building with wash house and ample parking accessed via a side lane.

Location

The property is located on the north side of the centre of Beverley and forms part of what is widely regarded as the most attractive route into the town centre. North Bar Without and New Walk, part of the town Conservation Area, are lined with a variety of fine individual period homes, many of which are listed buildings and the surroundings also include mature trees. It is less than 200 yards from the house to North Bar, on the edge of the historic town centre which is noted for its variety and quality of shops, restaurants and other amenities. Access to the common pastures of the Westwood, home to the town's golf and horse racing courses, is close by, via York Road, and it is about three quarters of a mile to the railway station.
