Description

Nestled in the desirable Skellow area of Doncaster, this exceptional four-bedroom house presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property steeped in history, originally constructed in 1923 for Lord Howden. Built with distinctive Nostell engineering bricks, this residence seamlessly blends its rich heritage with a comprehensive suite of modern energy-efficiency upgrades, making it an ideal family home for those seeking character without compromising on comfort or running costs. Offered to the market with the significant advantage of no onward chain, this property is ready for its next custodians.


Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the thoughtful preservation of its original charm, complemented by a meticulous approach to enhancing its thermal performance. The property boasts three generous reception rooms, providing ample space for family living, entertaining, and dedicated workspaces. Each room offers a versatile canvas to create your ideal environment, from a cosy lounge to a formal dining area or a vibrant family room.


One of the standout features of this home is the extensive insulation work undertaken. All wooden floors throughout the property have been insulated, contributing significantly to warmth and soundproofing. Similarly, all ceilings, with the exception of the kitchen and bathroom, have been insulated, further reducing heat loss. The commitment to energy efficiency extends to the exterior walls, with both front bedrooms benefiting from fitted insulated boards. The dining room and pantry have also received full insulation, including boards and behind the wainscotting in the front room, ensuring these spaces remain exceptionally warm and inviting.


The heart of the home's heating system is a powerful 14 kW log burner located in the dining room. This impressive feature is capable of heating the entire house, providing a wonderfully ambient and cost-effective warmth during colder months. Furthermore, a linked heating system ensures a consistent supply of hot water, adding to the property's self-sufficiency. All pipework has been heavily insulated, and the original lead pipes have been responsibly replaced with modern MDPE, guaranteeing a reliable and efficient water supply.


Comfort is further enhanced by the installation of a Toshiba inverter air conditioning system, offering cooling during warmer periods and supplementary heating when required. The property also benefits from a significant heating upgrade in 2020, which saw the back boiler and radiators removed, the system thoroughly flushed, and refitted with a new tank and inhibitor. This comprehensive overhaul ensures a modern, efficient, and reliable heating infrastructure. For peace of mind, a current gas certificate is in place, and smart meters have been installed, allowing for precise monitoring and management of energy consumption.


Upstairs, the four well-proportioned bedrooms offer comfortable retreats for all family members. The single bathroom serves these bedrooms, providing essential facilities. The layout offers flexibility for various family configurations, with potential for a home office or guest accommodation.


Externally, the property maintains its period appeal, with the robust Nostell engineering bricks standing as a testament to its enduring quality. The surrounding area of Skellow offers a pleasant community atmosphere, with convenient access to local amenities, schools, and transport links, making it an attractive location for families and commuters alike. Doncaster city centre is within easy reach, providing a wider array of shopping, dining, and leisure opportunities.


This unique property represents an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of local history, meticulously updated for contemporary living. Its blend of period charm, extensive energy-efficiency measures, and a prime location, all offered with no onward chain and at offers in the region of

£300,000, makes it a truly compelling proposition. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, comfort, and value this remarkable Skellow home has to offer.
