West End, Kilham, YO25

This delightful detached property has been developed from a traditional East Yorkshire farmhouse and an attached range of outbuildings to create highly individual and versatile accommodation.  There are three reception rooms, six double bedrooms and four bathrooms.  A 29’ kitchen features an Aga, granite worktops and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Character features are prominent throughout, and interested parties are strongly urged to make an internal inspection in order to appreciate the space and versatility of the accommodation provided fully.

Having been in the same ownership for over 30 years, it has more recently been tenanted, and it would now benefit from redecoration and new floor coverings in some areas.  This need has been factored into the asking price, and it provides an opportunity for purchasers to decorate and finish to their own taste and style.

Location

The property enjoys a quiet village location with open fields to the front.  Located between the market town of Driffield and the seaside town of Bridlington. It occupies a superb, fully walled, and private garden of one-third of an acre.

The village of Kilham nestles in the Yorkshire Wolds, surrounded by rolling countryside.  It offers a good range of local amenities, including a shop, a popular public house and a primary school. Driffield is nearby, with good railway link to both Scarborough and Hull. In the opposite direction, the Heritage coastline is within easy driving distance with several popular seaside resorts, including Bridlington, Scarborough, Filey and Whitby.

Driffield is a traditional market town that earned its title as Capital of the Wolds by virtue of its central position within the county. The larger towns and cities of Bridlington, Beverley and York are all within easy travelling distance either by road, rail or bus. Driffield offers an excellent range of shopping facilities, including national stores such as W H Smiths, Boots, Tesco’s, Lidl and Iceland Foods.

Sport and entertainment are well catered for, with well-supported clubs offering excellent facilities for rugby, cricket, football, golf, hockey and tennis.

Driffield has a modern Sports Hall with a swimming pool and multi gym plus a flood-lit all-weather sports field.
