Churchside, Howden

A rare opportunity to acquire this distinctive period home positioned directly by Howden Minster, just steps from the town’s charming shops, cafés and amenities.

Since its purchase in 2015, the property has undergone a comprehensive program of modernisation and tasteful redecoration. The result is a beautifully presented and stylish family home, blending historic character with contemporary living.

Upon entry, a spacious hallway provides access to the ground floor accommodation. To the left is one of two reception rooms — a flexible space previously used as a home office, but equally suited as a playroom, snug, or additional sitting area, depending on your needs. A single doorway in here leads into a ground floor w.c.

To the right of the hallway lies the main reception room, featuring exposed beams and a charming log burner that add warmth and character to the space. A front-facing window provides a lovely view of the cobbled street and Howden Minster. Patio doors at the rear not only flood the room with natural light but also provide direct access to the enclosed courtyard.

Continuing through the ground floor, you’ll find a modern kitchen fitted with contemporary units. Exposed ceiling beams lend a traditional touch and add character to the space. A stable-style door opens out to the rear courtyard in addition to a double glazed window to the side elevation. The kitchen also provides ample space for a dining table.

The first floor has two excellent sized bedrooms and a modern stylish family bathroom. Both bedrooms have a window to the front elevation and a central heating radiator. Bedroom one also has the benefit of built in wardrobes and additional window facing the rear.

The family bathroom has been tastefully designed to blend modern style with traditional charm. It comprises of a free standing bath, shower cubicle, w.c. and wash hand basin. There is wall panelling to mid height, wood effect flooring and an opaque window to the side elevation.

The second floor adds further versatility to this impressive home, featuring two additional generously sized bedrooms, ideal for family or guests.

Completing this floor is a well-appointed shower room/laundry room, incorporating a shower cubicle, toilet, and wash hand basin, along with plumbing and space for laundry appliances — a practical addition to the home.
Externally, the property has an enclosed rear courtyard, which can be accessed via a pedestrian gate — perfect for outdoor seating or secure storage.
