A superb opportunity to acquire a family home occupying a spacious plot in an attractive location on the northern side of Cottingham. The 0.22 acre plot allows for attractive residential accommodation of almost 1900 sq ft alongside extensive garaging, secure car hardstanding and a good-sized rear garden. Given all the boxes it ticks it is likely to have wide appeal and early viewing is essential.
Originally a traditional detached house with bay windows to the front and side, the property has been imaginatively extended to the rear to provide 6 bedrooms in total including a duplex master suite and to the side to create extensive garaging and workshop space. The substantial area to the front has been attractively block paved to create a large amount car hardstanding, or for children’s games, set securely behind remotely operated gates. There is a spacious private rear garden that is not overlooked with a summer house and spacious patio area. It offers the capacity to be a wonderful family home but its other particular aspects will really broaden the appeal. It benefits from gas fired central heating and extensive uPVC double glazing. The residential accommodation comprises: an Entrance Hall, Living Room with a bay window and open fire, Dining Room with a bay window to the side, a spacious Kitchen with a central island accommodating a breakfast bar, a Utility Area, an attractive Garden Room which has become the main living area for the current owners, a Side Entrance Hall & WC Cloaks. To the first floor there is a duplex style Master Bedroom suite overlooking the rear garden with a Juliet balcony which includes a large Dressing Room and En Suite |Shower Room, 4 further Double Bedrooms (two with bay windows), a Single Bedroom, Bathroom and Separate WC. The three separate garage spaces offer a range of opportunities. The closest to the house is a fairly regular garage (though with slightly restricted vehicular access), the middle one has a higher ceiling height allowing for a lift and is currently used as a workshop. The 3rd is a tandem garage which is currently used as a gym with some storage space over and a door to the rear garden. The extensive block paved space to the front and side of the house provides parking for a significant number of cars and possibly camper vans or boats but may also provide an excellent play space for younger children on bikes etc. as it sits behind a secure gate and high hedge and wall. The delightful rear garden is a good size and quite private with a large patio area and summer house.
This lovely property offers a lot - square footage, plot size and the garaging space and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. We also offer a 360 degree tour which will provide an excellent initial insight into it.
