St Giles Croft, Beverley, HU17 8LA

A grand period semi detached town house over three floors offering almost 2500 sq feet of internal accommodation in a sought after central Beverley location.  Currently providing up to 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms this lovely comfortable family home has been significantly enhanced with a modern ground floor living kitchen extension which means it offers period style and grandeur with more modern comfort.  A lawned rear garden and covered parking to the rear round off what is a significant opportunity.

 

The current occupiers have made the property their family home for over 20 years and it has been much loved.  Despite the central location the property enjoys a relatively open outlook to the front over the playing fields of the Minster School.  This aspect combines with the almost south facing frontage and large windows including the ground floor bay window to provide significant natural light.  The property retains many period features including impressively deep skirting boards to the hallway and front reception room, high ceilings, ceiling mouldings and roses, fireplaces, doors and coloured lights.  It benefits from gas fired central heating as well as under floor heating to the kitchen extension and has significant levels of double glazing, a mixture of double glazed units inserted into the original sash windows and replacement uPVC double glazing.  The excellent ground floor provision supports excellent bedroom accommodation with 4 double bedrooms, a decent sized single and then a further single bedroom currently used as a study.  There are bathrooms to both bedroom floors and the bathroom at the front of the first floor offers the potential to create a dedicated en suite to the master bedroom as well as a house shower room.  There is a separate WC to the first floor and also a ground floor WC cloaks.

The internal offering is complemented by what is available outside.  There is a good sized forecourt to the front of the house setting it back from the road.  To the rear there is a walled largely lawned garden and beyond that lies a covered parking space with attached good sized secure timber storage shed.  Vehicular access is via the service road off Albert Terrace and there is a good level of turning space into the parking area.

A really lovely, spacious family home in a great location with few of the limitations that can be experienced with town centre period properties   It has been well looked after and improved by the current owners but may also present an opportunity for an extensive refurbishment to suit a new owner’s specific requirements.  An early internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that is on offer but in the short term our 360 degree tour will provide an excellent overview of this lovely property.

 

LOCATION

The property is situated on the south side of Beverley town centre on the edge of but within its conservation area.  St Giles Croft is a no through road, principally of grand period houses of a similar design.  Beyond the small run of more modern properties that end part way across the frontage of No 16 lie the playing fields of the Minster School.  The nearby Woolpack public house is very popular and sits on Westwood Road which provides great access to the famous Westwood.  Beverley town centre which is just few minutes’ walk away provides an excellent range of shops and local amenities.
