Station Walk, Cottingham, HU16

A striking detached Edwardian property set on a generousplot in this sought after area of Cottingham.  The property offers asubstantial 2766 sq ft (approx.) of space over 3 floors with many periodfeatures.  The property requires extensive updating and refurbishment andmay also require some structural work though no survey has been carriedout.  It represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a distinct andspacious home in this sought after area.

The Edwardian house has significant character and is setbehind a large lawned front garden surrounded by mature trees andhedging.  Station Walk is a no-through road for vehicular traffic and sitswithin the Cottingham Conservation area.  The house retains many periodfeatures including ceiling mouldings, sash windows, staircase, high ceilingsand doors that were reputedly reclaimed from an older property being demolishedin Hull.  The accommodation is laid out over 3 floors and the ground floorcomprises:  a spacious Entrance Hall, Living Room with windows to threeaspects, Dining Room with windows to 2 aspects, Dining Kitchen, Utility Roomand WC Cloaks.  To the first floor is a spacious Landing, five DoubleBedrooms, Bathroom and separate WC.  A staircase leads to the 2ndfloor where there are 3 large loft rooms that may serve a variety ofuses.   To the front of the property there is a large lawned gardenthat reputedly used to accommodate a tennis court in the house’s earlyyears.  The front garden is very private with high hedging and tress toperimeter and significant screening from Station Walk which runs to the front,but ends at The Gables as far as vehicular access is concerned.  A longdriveway leads past the garden and house to a car hardstanding and turningarea 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 butthe majority lies to the front.

The property requires extensive upgrading and modernisationand probably some structural and roof work.  Its condition means it maynot be deemed suitable as security by a lender.  The central heating isnot functioning.  There has been no survey carried out.  Despitethat, the character, size, location and the proportions of the plot mean thatis likely to have significant appeal.  There may be scope for extension oreven demolition and redevelopment.  Interested parties are reminded thatthe property sits within the Cottingham Conservation area.
