House For Sale £600,000
Finkle Street, Market Weighton, YO43 3JL

Tryste House is a most interesting and unique period property in the very heart of this East Yorkshire town. Origins from the late 18th century with a palladian facade and a wealth of architectural features within the main residence have earned the property a Grade II listed status.  Its past owners include the Duke of Devonshire and it was at one time a girls school known as Wicstun High.  The current owners have made this spacious and characterful seven bedroomed house with four generous reception rooms a labour of love for nearly 40 years, and the property is maintained to a good standard.  Additions include a substantial modern garage & workshop building, and the property has a private established garden.  

Planning permission has been granted to implement a fairly simple scheme of subdivision of Tryste House into two generous 3 or 4 bedroomed homes (the total floor area being around 3,000 sq ft).  If implemented this offers the potential to create a second property which could be rented out to produce an income or used as self contained accommodation for relatives or dependents. 

An adjacent coach house is converted into three apartments, currently let and producing an income of £15,300.  This is also available to a purchaser at the price of £225,000.  Full details available at
