This spacious period house stands on a plot of approximately two-thirds of an acre with a South-facing outlook over neighbouring Wolds countryside. The property has for many years been let as two separate dwellings, but now offers a wonderful opportunity to be returned to a substantial single dwelling (subject to any necessary planning and building regulation approval). The present configuration provides two semi-detached houses with a total of 2,950 sq ft of oil fired centrally heated and fully double glazed accommodation and two garages. The total plot size is approximately two thirds of an acre including the access drive.
