Description
A rare opportunity to purchase one of the few Edwardian semi detached houses in the highly sought after village of Nether Poppleton. The house offers spacious accommodation laid out over three floors benefiting from double glazing and gas central heating. There are many attractive original features including period fireplaces, paneled doors and superb plasterwork to the ceiling of the Dining Room.On the ground floor doors lead from an entrance vestibule to a Cloakroom/WC and the Reception Hall with period fireplace in one corner, oriel window to the side, stairs to the upper floors and doors off to the main rooms. These include the Dining Room, with bay window to the front elevation, which retains the original fireplace and ornate cornicing and ceiling rose. The extended Living Room has patio doors to the rear overlooking the garden and a period style fireplace with pine surround and living flame gas fire. The Dining Kitchen has a range of fitted units with granite work tops, a Stoves range cooker and two windows to the side elevation overlooking the adjoining farmland. On the first floor doors from the landing open into three double bedrooms (the master having fitted oak wardrobes), a single bedroom with window to the front elevation and a House Bathroom with modern white suite and fitted furniture. The final door leads to a separate WC whilst a stair continues to the top floor of the house. Here a door opens into the fifth double bedroom with Velux windows to the rear, walk in storage cupboard and an En Suite Shower Room with contemporary white suite.Externally, the house stands on a particularly large plot with lovely open views to the south and east across the adjoining fields. A Tarmac driveway provides off street parking and leads along the side of the house to a double length, Tandem Garage with work bench and inspection pit. Hard standing to the side of the garage can accommodate a car or caravan.The predominantly lawned gardens are divided up into manageable sections with mature specimen fruit trees, shrubs and an ornamental pond. All the land has been well cultivated over the decades and is a good quality loam.Close to the house is a lovely Summerhouse, which we suspect was built at the same time as the main house. There is also a brick bike shed, a large garden storage shed and greenhouse.

Location

What The Seller Says
\"My wife and I have been privileged to live in this lovely family home for 44 years, but have reached the stage when it is time to move on. Each house has its own character, and I am mindful of the parting words of the vendor, when we completed the purchase in January 1971.\"You will find it a very friendly house.\"How right she was, and I hope it continues to give pleasure to another generation.\"
