Property description

IMPRESSIVE VICTORIAN PERIOD RESIDENCE - 3,600 SQ FT APPROX ON A SUPERB QUARTER ACRE PLOT

INTRODUCTION
Built, it is believed, around 1870 and extended in more recent times, this elegant Victorian home has had many uses, being at one time the parcel office for the nearby railway station. For many years however, the property has been used as residential accommodation, being extended by different owners over the years to provide the spacious home that exists today.

LOCATION

The town of Driffield has a wide range of shops and restaurants with good primary and secondary schooling. A local train service links Bridlington with Beverley and Hull.
