Set on a coveted Cottingham road, this substantial Edwardian detached house offers nearly 2,100 sq ft on a large south-west facing plot backing onto open fields. The mature, private gardens and two garages with a covered terrace provide practical space for family life, hobbies or storage. With double glazing and mains gas underfloor heating, the property is comfortable now and has clear scope to be updated.
Internally the layout includes three reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen and four double bedrooms upstairs with one large family bathroom. The kitchen dates from the 1990s and the accommodation would benefit from sympathetic modernisation and possible reconfiguration to unlock its full potential. Buyers should note there is only one bathroom for four bedrooms.
The plot — about a quarter acre — and the location near hospitals, the University of Hull, well-regarded schools and local amenities make this a strong long-term family home or investment with uplift potential. Practical matters: the property is freehold, falls in Council Tax Band G (quite expensive) and is not yet registered at the Land Registry, which can extend conveyancing times.
Overall this is a characterful, roomy Edwardian property for buyers wanting space, privacy and countryside views, and who are prepared to invest in modernisation to add value and personalise the home.
