Hornsea Road, Atwick, YO25 8DG

This delightful 2/3 bedroom former schoolmaster's house is full of period charm and a superb example of a restored property totally in-keeping with its Victorian character. The property has previously undergone a programme of updating to create a home full of character making the most of original period features of its time. It is generously proportioned as well with almost 1200 sq ft of internal space accommodating 2 double bedrooms and a large bathroom to the first floor as well as 2 spacious reception rooms and a good-sized dining kitchen to the ground floor.  All of this is complemented by a south-facing secluded garden.  Early viewing is essential.

The property, which is attached at the rear to the former school (now a village hall), is in a secluded village centre position with a private south-facing garden and the accommodation is a versatile layout with either two or three bedrooms depending on how the ground floor accommodation is used. With its seaside location it could well make a lovely holiday home or really appeal to someone looking for a coastal location.  Period features within the property include sash windows, period cast iron cooking range, quarry tiled floors, period fireplaces, ceiling cornicing, a period style bathroom suite including freestanding cast iron enameled bath, ceiling cornicing and stripped wooden floors and doors.  The accommodation briefly comprises:  an Entrance Hall with a door to the side, 2 good sized Reception Rooms and a Kitchen with a dining area and wood burning stove.  To the first floor is a spacious Landing, 2 good-sized Double Bedrooms and a Bathroom with three piece period style suite in white with a shower over the bath.  There is a south-facing good-sized and secluded garden as well as a small area of garden to the north of the property. 

A really interesting property, packed with character and in a great seaside location.  Early viewing is essential to fully appreciate all it offers but in the first instance we do have a 360 degree tour available.
