Occupying a tranquil location on the south side of this highly regarded village this wonderful property sits on a plot approaching half an acre with open fields to two sides. The spacious property with over 2000 sq feet of living space has been much improved by the current owners and offers well appointed accommodation that will suit a range of purchasers. A rare opportunity to acquire something quite special, early viewing is essential.
The Thistles was originally a true bungalow until the current owners created the first floor level. It still could be used as a bungalow but also offers three double bedrooms (two of which are en suite) to the first floor. In its current configuration there are two double bedrooms to the ground floor plus great reception space. A number of the rooms have windows to two aspects so it is very light. As wonderful as the internal accommodation is, the outside space is what sets the property apart. Church Road itself is a quiet street so with the rural fields to two sides of the generous plot it really is very peaceful. The grounds are simple but well maintained with large areas of lawn, a large Indian sandstone paved patio and a good sized brick store (with the potential to be a home office or studio) as well as the integral garage. There is also a further area of garden behind high hedging on the eastern side of the property. This could be easily separated from the main part and may present a development opportunity (subject to necessary permissions). The internal accommodation briefly comprises: spacious Entrance Hall, Living Room with windows to two aspects, a Snug, very well fitted Dining Kitchen with appliances, 2 ground floor Double Bedrooms and a Bathroom with separate shower unit. To the first floor are two En Suite Double Bedrooms and a further Double Bedroom. The internal accommodation has been much improved by the current owners and touches such as the attractive kitchen and oak doors throughout lend a real feeling of luxury. Combined with the fabulous outside spaces it makes a very compelling proposition.
Early viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that is available but in the first instance our 360 degree tour will provide an excellent overview.
LOCATION
Catwick is a lovely East Yorkshire village sitting to the east of Beverley. Its historic and pretty church is just yards away from The Thistles on the southern and quiet side of the village. There are extensive local amenities available in nearby Leven just to the west and the seaside town of Hornsea not far to the west provides many more. Beverley, Bridlington and Hull, all not too far away, provide even more.

Outside - the property is surrounded by gardens to three sides, principally to the south and west. The gardens are well maintained with large areas of lawn and a range of trees including an orchard area. If a buyer would prefer something different there is plenty of opportunity though as it is very much a blank canvas. There is high hedging to three perimeters providing an attractive border, but the north side is open to Church Road which works very well as it is so quiet. There is an area of Indian sandstone paving providing a path at the front of the house which leads to a larger patio area in the same material on the south side, adjacent to the kitchen. There is a separate area of lawned garden on the rear/eastern side behind high hedging reached by a gap in the hedge. This was retained by the current owners after the sale of their previous property and could provide an excellent kitchen garden or may have potential for development (subject to necessary permissions). There is a good sized brick store with sliding patio doors to the front which may provide an opportunity for the creation of a studio, home office or den. There is also a single integral garage with up and over door on the road side of the property with a gravelled driveway providing access and off street parking.
