Standing on a slightly elevated plot at the foot of the ever-popular Mount, close to Scarborough Road, this traditional three-bedroom semi is offered to the market as a complete renovation project.  The property has been in the same ownership for decades and would now benefit from a comprehensive programme of modernisation.  The property does benefit from uPVC double glazing but other than that, renovation works required include: rewiring, installation of central heating, replacement of kitchen and bathroom, redecoration and new floor coverings.  The property is an excellent project for a competant DIY enthusiast to tackle and project manage skilled tradesmen where required.

Location

The Mount is located off Scarborough Road and the location of this property at the bottom of the road makes it very convenient for access to the Town Centre and the local schools.  Driffield has a great variety of local shops, restaurants, and transport links including a railway station, a local market on a Thursday, and is within easy traveling distance of the east coast, Beverley and the Yorkshire Wolds.
