St. John Street, Beverley

A wonderful period home with the most incredible view over Beverley Minster, located only a short stride to the town centre.

A simply beautiful period house which is believed to date back to the late 18th Century and has been Grade II Listed because of its historic and architectural significance.

As the name suggests, West Door House looks directly over the west elevation of Beverley Minster and surely benefits from one of the most stunning views within the town.

The property offers extremely versatile accommodation but is currently arranged to offer four reception rooms with kitchen, utility and orangery on ground floor. To the first floor there is the master bedroom and a drawing room which could also be utilised as a further bedroom, along with a substantial family bathroom and at second floor level there are two very well-proportioned double bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom.

Original characteristics have been retained throughout the property which has also been further enhanced by the addition of a wonderful orangery to the rear, making the most of the beautifully presented lawned gardens and terraced seating area. The view from the rear garden to the Minster is equally stunning and this is surely one of the most beautiful properties available in the current market.
