A striking detached Edwardian property set on a generous plot in this sought after area of Cottingham.  The property offers a substantial 2766 sq ft (approx.) of space over 3 floors with many period features.  The property requires extensive updating and refurbishment and may also require some structural work though no survey has been carried out.  It represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a distinct and spacious home in this sought after area.

The Edwardian house has significant character and is set behind a large lawned front garden surrounded by mature trees and hedging.  Station Walk is a no-through road for vehicular traffic and sits within the Cottingham Conservation area.  The house retains many period features including ceiling mouldings, sash windows, staircase, high ceilings and doors that were reputedly reclaimed from an older property being demolished in Hull.  The accommodation is laid out over 3 floors and the ground floor comprises:  a spacious Entrance Hall, Living Room with windows to three aspects, Dining Room with windows to 2 aspects, Dining Kitchen, Utility Room and WC Cloaks.  To the first floor is a spacious Landing, five Double Bedrooms, Bathroom and separate WC.  A staircase leads to the 2nd floor where there are 3 large loft rooms that may serve a variety of uses.   To the front of the property there is a large lawned garden that reputedly used to accommodate a tennis court in the house’s early years.  The front garden is very private with high hedging and tress to perimeter and significant screening from Station Walk which runs to the front, but ends at The Gables as far as vehicular access is concerned.  A long driveway leads past the garden and house to a car hardstanding and turning area which in turns leads up to a double detached brick built garage.  There are further gardens at the rear of the house and behind the garage but the majority lies to the front.

The property requires extensive upgrading and modernisation and probably some structural and roof work.  Its condition means it may not be deemed suitable as security by a lender.  The central heating is not functioning.  There has been no survey carried out.  Despite that, the character, size, location and the proportions of the plot mean that is likely to have significant appeal.  There may be scope for extension or even demolition and redevelopment.  Interested parties are reminded that the property sits within the Cottingham Conservation area.

Viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that is available but our 360 degree tour will also provide an excellent overview of the house and grounds.

LOCATION

The house sits within the highly sought after village of Cottingham in East Yorkshire.  Cottingham provides an extensive range of shops, restaurants, schools and other local amenities.  These are supplemented by those in nearby Hull to which the location provides great access.  As the street name suggests, Cottingham railway station is just a short walk north of the property which may be of particular interest to some purchasers.  The driveway can be found at What3Words :ramp.factor.valve
