Bell House, Kilnwick Percy, York, YO42 1UF

Bell House, originally known as the Bailiff’s house, is a stunning period house constructed c.1844 and located in the highly desirable village of Kilnwick Percy. The property was built as a detached family home before it was divided into two dwellings back in 1927. The old bell from which the cottage gets its name is located on the rear wall of the property, a lovely piece of preserved history that will surely appeal to anyone that is looking for a home with character and charm. The property is deceptively spacious both inside and out, so a viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything that it has to offer.

On approaching the property you will see timber gates which open to the driveway. There is a set of steps from the drive leading up to a raised garden which could be very easily altered through the removal of a small hedge at the front to create a second large parking space. This small alteration could be massively beneficial and low cost to the incoming purchaser if extra parking is required.

On entering through the rear door you find yourself in an inner lobby which is perfect for the storage of coats and shoes. The kitchen/diner has been fitted with a range of hard wood storage units and a black granite worktop. There are a number of appliances including an impressive Smeg oven, fridge and dishwasher. At the centre of the room you will find space for a dining table with chairs. There are three additional doorways off the kitchen, the first leads into a boot room with a shower room beyond, the second provides access to the utility room, whilst the third leads down to a study area where there is a door that opens to the front garden. The living room has solid wood flooring, a log burner at the centre of the room with recessed shelves to either side and a bay window that allows natural light to flood in.

To the first floor there are three good sized bedrooms, the master having the benefit of built in wardrobes and a feature fireplace. The family bathroom is modern in design and comprises of a bath with shower over, hand basin with storage below and a low level w/c.

Externally the front garden is laid to lawn with borders of mature trees and shrubs. There is a low maintenance gravelled area which is accessed via a path to the side of the lawn. There is an enclosed paved area behind the drive which houses a timber shed and an air source heat pump.
