House For Sale £495,000
STUNNING 3 BED CHARACTER PROPERTY - ORIGINALLY BUILT 1844 - PICTURESQUE RURAL LOCATION - ONE MILE FROM POCKLINGTON TOWN CENTRE - BEAUTIFUL FARMHOUSE KITCHEN - OFF ROAD PARKING - MATURE GARDENS TO ALL ASPECTS - VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Overview - Originally built in 1844 as part of the Kilnwick Percy Estate, Bell House, so named because of the original farm bell to the back of the house. It was previously known as the Bailiff's House and was until 1927 one house together with Walnut Cottage next door before being separated into two individual properties. The property itself is steeped in history, character and charm and is a rare find in today's market.
Kilnwick Percy is a hamlet of approximately 20 properties all enjoying their own history as part of the original estate buildings. The Madhyamaka Buddhist Centre is on the doorstep within walking distance of the property and offers picturesque walks around the lake and historic buildings as well as enjoying a welcoming coffee shop in the grounds. The KP golf club and glasshouse restaurant is also within easy reach of the property which has stunning views over the town and walks around as well as being part of the popular Wolds Way, with Pocklington only a short mile away.
Pocklington itself is a sought after market town and offers a vast array of amenities including supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants, Arts Centre with cinema, Francis Scaife leisure centre, doctors surgery with pharmacy and an excellent choice of local primary and secondary schools. It is also popular amongst commuters due to its proximity to York, Leeds and Hull via major road networks including A1079, A64, A1/M1 and the M62. There is also a regular bus service running half hourly between York and Hull in addition to the mainline railway stations in Howden, Brough and York.
The main entrance to this delightful home is actually to the rear aspect which is approached along a private lane with access onto a gated entrance leading into the driveway with parking for one vehicle, with scope to extend this to provide additional parking if required. A pedestrian gate leads to a paved area providing access via a porch into the central hub of the house being a beautiful farmhouse kitchen. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of units complemented with black granite worktops and parquet flooring. It incorporates an integral fridge, dishwasher, stainless steel sink and range style electric oven. From the kitchen are doors off to a boot-room, leading to the downstairs shower room, a utility room with further sink, plumbing for a washing machine and a door to the rear. A further door leads to the first floor landing. From the kitchen is a step down into a study area with leaded door to the garden. Adjacent is the cosy living room benefitting from a south facing aspect and enjoying views over the pretty house garden via a handsome bay window. The living room also features built in recessed storage with shelving over, exposed floor boarding and a log burner.
To the first floor are three good sized bedrooms. The main bedroom features an original fireplace and fitted double cupboards and bedroom two has the benefit of a spacious airing cupboard housing the hot water tank. The house bathroom is fitted with a modern suite comprising WC, sink set on a useful utility stand and bath with a mains powered shower over.
Externally the well stocked and beautifully maintained gardens wrap around the property so the sun and the peace can be enjoyed from all aspects.
The well appointed and well maintained property also benefits from air source heating and wood frame double glazing and simply must be viewed to appreciated the beauty and charm of this characterful home.
