Description

AN OUTSTANDING VICTORIAN RESIDENCE WITH SEPARATE DETACHED COTTAGE SET IN BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS OF APPROXIMATELY 0.7 ACRE. Many period features. 5 bedrooms, 3 receptions, Amdega conservatory, kitchen, pantry and utility. The cottage is ideal for guests, relatives or as a rental opportunity.

Introduction - An outstanding Victorian residence with separate detached cottage set in beautiful grounds of approximately 0.7 acre. Thorncliffe House is probably one of the finest examples of Victorian residential architecture in the region boasting many fabulous period features and exuding great character. The property is discreetly located within the stunning Southfield conservation area, home to many properties of distinction, on the southern outskirts of Hessle, a vibrant small town some 6 miles to the west of Hull. The substantial range of accommodation has elegant proportions being arranged over two floors and is depicted on the attached floorplan. The property was built to take full advantage of its south facing aspect with many of the principle rooms enjoying views across the delightful gardens. The accommodation comprises a most impressive entrance and hallway with original mosaic floor with it's striking staircase and Victorian geometric tiled floor. There are two grand reception rooms plus a study, Amdega built conservatory, kitchen, large patio, utility and store room. At first floor are five bedrooms served by two bathrooms.

Thorncliffe House is approached by a long private driveway which provides access to two neighbouring properties. The private driveway then turns north, arriving at the house with its forecourt and garaging, beyond which lies the cottage and its parking. The grounds have been lovingly tended over the years with thoughtful planting creating many areas of interest. Sweeping lawns extend to the south and west of the house complemented by well stocked borders with many ornamental shrubs and trees. A Yorkstone patio extends to much of the south and west elevations. There is also a very useful potting shed and greenhouse and vegetable garden.

Properties of such appeal are very rarely found on the open market and viewing is strongly recommended.

The Cottage - A detached cottage (No. 57 Southfield) lies to the north of the house and is ideal for guests, renting or relatives. It briefly comprises an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, utility, two upstairs bedrooms and a bathroom. The cottage has it's own small garden space and parking.
The main house and the cottage are two separately rated properties having individual Council Tax bands being G for the main house and D for the cottage.

Location - Thorncliffe House is discreetly located in the beautiful tree lined and highly sought after residential area of Southfield, part of Hessle's conservation area and comprises many fine homes of distinction, the majority of which evoke the grandeur of the Victorian era. This established setting lies within walking distance of the bustling centre of Hessle where a superb range of shops and amenities are to be found including fine restaurants, cafes, bars, boutique shops, delicatessen, supermarket, newsagent, banks, chemist, gift shops, hair/beauty salons, health centre, take-aways and more, all of which make Southfield a truly desirable place to live. Situated approximately five miles to the west of Hull city centre, on the banks of the River Humber, Hessle benefits from excellent road and rail links with its own railway station which is within walking distance of Thorncliffe House, regular bus service and immediate access to the Clive Sullivan dual carriage way leading into Hull or the national motorway network. The iconic Humber Bridge is situated nearby providing easy access to North Lincolnshire and Humberside Airport. Public and private schooling for all ages is available locally in addition to many recreational facilities.
