HN0689 - A Garden Lover’s Haven in the Heart of Cottingham - Offers Over £500,000 — No Onward Chain

Positioned in the heart of Cottingham village, just moments from local amenities, well-regarded schools and village life, this unique four bedroom home occupies an exceptional plot that has been cherished by the same family for many years.

Originally forming a double plot, the grounds have been retained as one magnificent garden setting, creating a rare opportunity for a variety of buyers. While the property would benefit from modernisation and cosmetic updating, it offers enormous potential for those wishing to create their dream home in one of the village’s most desirable locations.

The possibilities are plentiful. A family may choose to extend and transform the property into a substantial two-storey residence, subject to the necessary permissions. Investors may recognise the potential of the original double plot and explore future development opportunities, potentially for more than one dwelling, again subject to obtaining all relevant planning consents. Equally, those seeking to downsize without compromising on outdoor space may be drawn to the property’s current layout as a spacious bungalow set within beautifully private grounds.

A sweeping driveway provides extensive parking for numerous vehicles and leads to the substantial double garage, immediately highlighting the scale and presence of this remarkable plot.

A covered archway then invites you through to discover the true heart of the home.

 
The Gardens - The rear garden is a true labour of love.

Lovingly created and meticulously nurtured over decades, the garden reflects the lifelong passion of its owner for gardening. Mature trees, established borders, winding pathways, a garden shed, a side garden and an attractive arbour all combine to create a series of peaceful and private outdoor spaces. Carefully positioned seating areas allow you to enjoy the sun throughout the day, while the exceptional privacy ensures a sense of seclusion rarely found so close to the village centre.

This is a garden with real soul — established, generous in scale, and full of character.

 
Living Spaces 

The L-shaped kitchen sits at the heart of the home and is fitted with cream units, elegant quartz worktops and a Range Master gas cooker. A comfortable seating and dining area makes this a warm and sociable space for everyday living.

From here, the kitchen flows directly into the impressive conservatory. This superb addition features arched windows, patio doors opening directly onto the garden, and a recently replaced roof. Electric radiators ensure year-round comfort, making it a true all-season living space that connects beautifully with the outdoors.

The conservatory can also be accessed directly from the lounge, enhancing the natural flow of the home and making it ideal for both family life and entertaining.

The spacious L-shaped lounge and dining room provides an elegant reception space, centred around a marble fire surround. A further door leads directly into the conservatory, creating an effortless link between the main living areas and the garden beyond.

 
Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The ground floor offers two generous double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom features a charming semi-circular bay window, fitted wardrobes and a double dado rail, adding both character and practicality. The second double bedroom benefits from a bay window along with an additional window, creating a bright and airy dual aspect together with fitted wardrobes.

The family bathroom has been beautifully appointed and includes electric underfloor heating, a large walk-in shower, wall-mounted vanity wash hand basin and WC. Fully tiled throughout, it also benefits from two double-glazed windows, enhancing natural light and ventilation.

To the first floor are two further versatile rooms.

The larger room, currently used as a sitting room, includes fitted wardrobes and a Velux window, making it ideal as an additional bedroom or flexible living space. The second room, a single bedroom, also benefits from a Velux window. A WC and wash hand basin complete the first-floor accommodation, offering excellent flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, hobbies or home working.
