Main Street, Riccall, York, YO19

An outstanding, 4 bedroom Georgian house situated in the popular village of Riccall which may be converted to 5 bedrooms, see Floorplan 2.

The house is an impressive example of Georgian architecture thought to have been built around 1790. It was originally the Drover`s Inn, as recorded in 1823, (See Photo 12) and as such would have provided accommodation for drovers taking their stocks of "droves of cattle, hogs and sheep" to markets in the south. Before the advent of railways such stock went to market on the hoof.

The Inn has been converted to a wonderful family home with original period features. It is located in the Conservation Area in the heart of the sought after village of Riccall and offers the buyer an opportunity for improvement as to their own inclination.

Entry is through an impressive reception room which contains a superb beamed ceiling and this leads through to a dining room, separate kitchen and utility. The spacious 28 ft long sitting room overlooks the garden and contains original beams and an open fireplace.

Upstairs there is a large principal bedroom with walk in dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. There are two additional double bedrooms, a single bedroom and house bathroom. The house is oil heated.

Outside, to the rear, there is a secluded garden and at the side additional garden space which may be used for off road parking.

There is potential to add an additional 330 sq. ft of floor space to the house with an additional room of around 130 sq. ft, (4.92 x 2.66 m), as shown on Floorplan 2 above the existing utility room subject to any necessary permissions. There is also a potential storage space in the loft of around 200 sq. ft..

The Floorplan 2 layout shows a spacious living room/kitchen with an adjoining 25 ft long room which may be used for additional sitting space, a games room or for any other purpose.

There is no onward chain.
