3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

SEMI-DETACHED PERIOD PROPERTY, SUBSTANTIAL BARNS AND PADDOCK WITH SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL IN THE HEART OF PICKERING.

Description

Situation
70 Eastgate is centrally situated in the picturesque market town of Pickering, located just beyond the southern border of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. A popular market town, Pickering is a hive of activity and well connected to both the coast and in the surrounding countryside.

The A170 and nearby A64 give wider connectivity access to Kirkbymoorside, Helmsley, and York. Pickering offers a host of local amenities including numerous shops, a post office, historic church and various public houses. It is also home to the beloved and well-known North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway which runs between Pickering and Whitby. Pickering is ideally located to take advantage of the spectacular landscapes and tourist attractions of the North York Moors National Park and the coastal region, whilst still being practically located for access to York.

Description
70 Eastgate is a well-proportioned semi-detached property with pantile roof and expansive outbuildings which lie to the rear of the main house. The property is double fronted, set back from the road, and has been in the same ownership since first built. Internally the accommodation requires some refurbishment and updating but benefits from good proportions and a conventional layout. In all, the internal accommodation extends to over 1,300 sq ft.

Ground floor accommodation includes entrance hallway, kitchen with a range of fitted units and double electric oven, pantry, dining room and sitting room with dual aspect; with parquet flooring and traditional open fires in both reception rooms. Adjoining the northern exterior wall is a boot room with ample storage.

To the first floor is a spacious landing leading to two large double bedrooms with built in storage and a single bedroom, along with a family bathroom and separate w.c. There is gas central heating and a new boiler was installed two years ago. Secondary glazing has also been fitted to most windows. Access to the property is via a driveway through double gates leading to a secure parking area to the rear, enclosed by high stone walls providing privacy and shelter.

Buildings and Paddock
To the north of the main house lie a variety of traditional, stone outbuildings predominantly double height, previously utilised as workshops/garaging and storage. Adjoining these to the north is a modern, steel portal framed building through which gives access to a grass paddock dotted with mature conifers and shrubs. Vehicular access to the rear of the paddock is possible via Hawthorn Lane.

The buildings in total extend to over 4,000 sq. ft. and demonstrate obvious potential to redevelop into additional residential accommodation (subject to consents). This element, in conjunction with the adjacent paddock, distinguishes the property from its counterparts offering a very attractive opportunity within the heart of Pickering.

The paddock area also has significant potential for development as a single or double plot for new build residential development (subject to consents); this could utilise the access from Hawthorn Lane.
