Introduction - Situated in a delightful setting overlooking Mount Airy, this unique high calibre detached residence is of great appeal. Built around 1910 with many hallmarks of the Edwardian era the original house has much character and has been complemented by the additon of further attractive accommodation. This includes a bright, spacious, well proportioned living kitchen with plentiful cabinets and a vaulted ceiling, large living room, further bedroom and bathroom. The accommodation is extremely versatile and provides 5 bedrooms overall, two being en-suite. The living accommodation affords four reception rooms the majority with stunning views of the garden and beyond. The property enjoys a beautiful and secluded environment being approached across a private driveway, set well back from Beverley Road. The house is orientated to take full advantage of the sunny aspects and the gardens wrap around the property to the east, south and west elevations, being mainly laid to lawn, complemented by mature borders and several specimen trees. Excellent parking is available and there is a double garage and outbuilding. A footpath runs along one boundary and leads through fields up to Mount Airy, where it joins the Wolds Way. Trees, fields and a vineyard provide a splendid backdrop to the house and gardens. Gas fired central heating and uPVC double glazing is installed. There is a burglar alarm and exterior lighting.
Location - The picturesque village of South Cave is nestled at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, approximately 14 miles to the west of Hull and just 10 miles from the historic market town of Beverley.
The village, which is in walking distance of the property, offers a selection of local shops and amenities including a convenience store with post office, chemist, mini-supermarket, take-away outlets, public houses, restaurants, hair and beauty salons, country club, golf course, leisure centre, bowls and tennis clubs. There is a highly reputable primary school, with secondary schooling provided by the excellently rated South Hunsley school. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside with extensive local walks and the added interest of Little Wold Vineyard.
This is a great location for the commuter, family or country lover alike. Instant access to the A63/M62 motorway network makes many regional national business centres such as Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester easily accessible. The nearby town of Brough has a mainline railway station with a regular service to Hull, Leeds, Manchester, Doncaster, York and London Kings Cross (approximately 2 1/2 hours). A local bus service links South Cave to Hull and Beverley. Overseas travel is facilitated by the proximity of airports at Humberside (20 miles), Doncaster (38 miles) and Leeds Bradford (50 miles). The village therefore provides excellent links both locally and nationally.
