Hymers Avenue, Kingston upon Hull, HU3

We are delighted to bring to the market this stunning Edwardian family home! This gorgeous house retains many of its period features and its formality, with generous rooms and high ceilings. This property is offering all of the charm of period living in a beautiful family residence but conveniently located close to Hulls cosmopolitan Princes Avenue.

Welcoming you to the property is the original Edwardian fencing flanking the path to the Porchway which retains the period wall tiling, original entrance door and stained and leaded glass windows, all setting the theme for what you are about to experience throughout the building.

The generous Entrance Hallway retains the original Pitch Pine panelled doors which lead you to the formal sitting room, the dining room and breakfast room, look up and you are greeted by Edwardian plasterwork corbels and a timber picture rail moulding. Original timber skirting, architrave and dado still remain as does the Edwardian staircase which is the same design as the front fencing, all helping to set the period feel.

Into the West-facing sitting room you are immediately drawn to the grandeur of the bay window which has been replaced with double glazed units to the original design, blending the efficiency of new double-glazed units with the elegance of the original Edwardian style, a feature which floods the room with natural daylight. The dramatically high celling, bold Slate fire surround and decorative tiled cast-iron insert lend themselves to either a full Edwardian décor renaissance or to a modern theme with a nod to the history of the house, as is the current style.

As you leave the Hallway into the dining room you are immediately drawn to  the natural light which floods in through the glass roof and doorway into the garden. There is a feature fireplace which sits a-top a marble hearth, the  room proportions are generous and the ceiling height is circa 11ft, an 8 or even 10-seater dining table could be comfortably accommodated in this room.
