Occupying a generous plot in the ever-popular village of Firsby, this attractive semi-detached home offers bright, airy and versatile accommodation, generous gardens and excellent outside storage, making it an ideal choice for families or anyone seeking the space and tranquillity of village life.

Originally built in the 1890s as a railway cottage, the property has been thoughtfully extended over the years, with additions in the 1960s and the garden room completed in 2000. Since purchasing the property in 2021, the current owners have continued to enhance and improve the home, creating a well-presented and welcoming living space throughout.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, inner hall, versatile sitting/dining room with fireplace, comfortable lounge featuring a multi-fuel burner, fitted kitchen, light-filled garden/dining room and utility room to the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a contemporary shower room.

Outside, the property enjoys ample off-road parking to the front with a handy store off, while the attractive rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and provides plenty of space for children, gardening or outdoor entertaining. A side courtyard incorporates a useful brick-built outbuilding and a separate WC, with a garden shed/workshop, greenhouse and large log store/garden storage area situated to the far rear of the gardens. Further benefits include oil-fired central heating, double glazing and solar panels which are owned outright.

LIFETIME LEGAL

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £72 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
