3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Swanland Road, Hessle, East Riding Of Yorkshire HU13

We are delighted to bring to the market this wonderfully traditional, 1930s semi-detached property. Very rarely are we presented with a house in such original and un-spoilt condition, yet so wonderfully maintained!

This property is oozing with charm, ready and waiting for it's new custodians to bring it gently and sympathetically into the 21st Century, set for modern living but with character.

Coming through the original front door complete with it's 1930s locks and keys, you are greeted by a generous hallway where you will find a panelled staircase, finished with a cast-iron fretwork balustrade. The original plasterwork cornice, skirting and architrave are all still in place throughout the house, all of the original internal doors are still hanging, just waiting for the 1950's ply to be removed, exposing their period panelled design.

The sitting room to the front of the property is a flooded with natural daylight from the large, south-facing bay window. There is a generously proportioned dining room in the centre of the property with original storage cupboards and a tall picture window, making the room light and airy. The 1930s timber and obscure glass partition separate the dining from from the kitchen and add to the properties' period charm. The kitchen to the rear of the property provides views over the meandering garden, it has a traditional country-style oak-coloured kitchen and a side door to the driveway and garden. The modern Worcester Greenstar boiler is wall-mounted within the kitchen.

To the first floor the original features continue, there are three generous bedrooms two of which are double and one single bedroom with a bay window, offering views over the large garden and the Kings Playing Fields. There is a period bathroom to the front of the property which would benefit from a program of modernisations but is perfectly functional and features a cast iron bath.

With the exception of the three original timber sash windows within the hallway, all other windows in the property have been replaced with sympathetically-styled, double-glazed PVC windows in 2019 providing heating efficiency without losing the original window profiles.

The outside of the property offers a gated driveway with parking for several vehicles, there is a gravelled front garden with hedging for privacy from the main road.

There is a generous garage with power and lighting, a work bench racking for tools. There are double doors to both the front and rear of the building and two windows to the side of the garage looking over the courtyard area.

The rear garden is separated into four quaint areas, there is a courtyard area accessed through a cast-iron gate providing a delightful seating area flooded with sunlight. There is an outside W.C with a cold water tap with a hose attachment for garden watering. You are then led into two further garden areas, both laid to lawn and filled with a carefully selected variety of established plants and shrubs. The final area to the very rear of the garden is a vegetable patch with fruit trees, complete with a green house and two potting sheds...ideal for those who dream of growing their own. In summary, the garden is as enchanting as the house!
