Welholme Avenue, Grimsby

Occupying a central position along Welholme Avenue, a substantial semi detached house steeped in history and thought to have its origins around 1927. Set within extensive and mature grounds resembling a quintessential old English garden featuring ornate walls, shaped lawns and a further large apple orchard with a summerhouse in one corner.

Significantly extended over the years No. 49 has been home to the same family for almost 45 years, lovingly cared for together with many original features and now requiring some slight updating to improve to taste. Noteworthy features include a wonderful panelled Reception Hall, four individual Reception Rooms, a superb and unusual Landing with beamed ceiling, four excellent size Bedrooms and two Bathrooms. Many of the original features still remain including brick fireplaces, wood block parquet floors and some stained glass leaded windows whilst the rewiring has been updated and a new boiler was installed in 2021.

Principal accommodation includes a superb panelled Reception Hall with a beamed ceiling and oak staircase rising to the first floor. Within the hallway there are three highly individual reception rooms including the charming bay fronted Dining Room with its ornate brick fireplace and oak floor, the relaxing Sitting Room overlooking the front garden and the delightful Music Room with its window seat and glazed door opening onto the rear patio.

Leading on from the hall is a further Inner Hall with the original parquet wood block floor serving a Cloakroom with W.C, a Utility Room and a further Play Room/Sun Room with its lovely ornate bay window overlooking the front garden.

The kitchen is a good size with a range of units and a serving hatch through to the Music Room and patio doors to the rear garden.

At first floor level there is an unusually large 11' squared Landing with its 8'10" high Mansard panelled roof. There are four excellent size double Bedrooms, the principal Bedroom with fitted wardrobes, bay window and its own ensuite Bathroom. In addition there is the main Family Bathroom and a separate Toilet.

Hidden from the roadside, the generous driveway is approached through a tree lined access leading in turn to a large tandem length Garage (including a coal house and separate W.C.) In the Agents opinion the mature and extensive rear garden forms one of the main attractions of the property. It features shaped lawns, ornate walls, various patio areas with winding pathways and a brick canopy providing entrance into a further apple orchard.

The orchard is heavily planted with herbaceous plants and shrubs and features mature trees, a lovely summer house in one corner and a tiled patio which was once the base of the original greenhouse, ideal for relaxing in the summer months. The gardens are truly magnificent and matured over 100 years, offering the avid gardener the perfect opportunity to establish further. A truly remarkable home which must be viewed to appreciate all on offer. EPC Rating - D.

OUTSIDE
Hidden from the roadside the house is accessed via a mature tree lined driveway leading in turn to the large garage. The front garden is lawned with mature laurels and shrubs and a beautiful magnolia tree. In the Agents opinion the rear garden with its quintessential feel, carefully matured over 100 years is certainly one of its most attractive features. Lawned gardens extend around deep planter borders with beautiful stonework creating a unique feature almost unseen in this area for many years. Flowering shrubs produce an abundance of colour and beyond lies a mature apple orchard with a summer house in one corner, further raised lawns and a lovely tiled base which was once the greenhouse. The gardens are well screened by fencing ensuring privacy for the present owners and with its position provides plenty of sunshine during the summer months.
