The Gables, Anlaby

A charming period home occupying a substantial one-fifth of an acre plot near Anlaby's shops, offering four double bedrooms including a ground-floor ensuite for independent living, plus the potential for a separate building plot.

This charming and characterful period property occupies a remarkably convenient position, situated in a quiet spot that remains just a short stroll from the diverse shops and amenities of Anlaby. Set within an expansive plot exceeding one-fifth of an acre, the home has been sympathetically updated and extended over the years. The sheer size of the grounds presents a unique opportunity, potentially offering space for a separate building plot subject to the necessary consents.

The internal layout is designed with exceptional versatility in mind, particularly for those seeking a home that supports independent living. The ground floor features a spacious bedroom with an adjacent ensuite bathroom, providing a self-contained feel that is ideal for multi-generational families or those preferring single-level facilities. This flexibility is further enhanced by the presence of three reception rooms and a homely dining kitchen, allowing the space to be tailored to any lifestyle.

The first floor provides three generous double bedrooms, ensuring ample space for all residents. Notably, the front bedroom on this level has previously had plans drawn up for the installation of an ensuite shower room.

Externally, the impressive grounds include extensive lawns, a large vegetable plot, and a garage. The property also benefits from secure electric gated parking with room for up to three cars. Given the rare combination of a central, accessible location and such substantial private land, a viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the potential on offer.

Location - The property is situated in a convenient location on North Street in Anlaby close to its junction with Church Close. This relatively peaceful position lies between Springfield Way and Wilson Street just to the north west of Anlaby village centre and as such provides a convenient location to access the shops at Anlaby Retail Park and within Anlaby Village itself. Further, Haltemprice Sports Centre is also within easy reach.
