5 bedroom village house for sale

This handsome former farmhouse occupies a central position within Nafferton and is believed to date from 1778. Constructed principally of brick beneath a clay pantile roof, this ideal family home offers over 2,500sq.ft of living accommodation, together with ample parking, private gardens, a range of useful outbuildings extending to more than 1,800sq.ft, and a plot of one third of an acre.

The property is Grade II Listed, being of architectural or historic interest, and its accommodation is arranged over two floors. Within recent years, all of the windows to the front and a good number to the rear, have been replaced with hardwood replicas of the originals, all double-glazed and with listed building consent. In brief, the accommodation comprises 23ft dining hall, sitting room with open fire, garden room, a large dining kitchen with AGA, snug, utility room, guest cloakroom and boot room. Upstairs there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Vehicular access is through a covered archway at the side of the house, leading around to a good-sized parking area and car port. The gardens are large and enjoy a pleasant south and westerly aspects, with lawn and a variety of trees and shrubs. Of interest to many will be the extensive range of outbuildings, which total almost 1,875sq.ft. Some of these are original former farmbuildings, and several others have been constructed within the last 8 years. The former provide useful workshop space but may also have potential for a variety of alternative uses, such as accommodation for dependent relatives (subject to securing any necessary consents).

Nafferton is located just 2 miles outside of the market town of Driffield, at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds. It is a thriving village with an active community and a wide range of amenities, including a well-stocked convenience store and post office, a primary school, 13th Century church, three pubs and a recreation ground with tennis courts. The village also benefits from a railway station (Hull to Scarborough line), which provides a link to the market town of Beverley and via Hull, to London.
