This Grade II listed semi-detached family home offers generous, character-filled accommodation across three floors plus a self-contained one-bedroom cottage ideal for guests or rental income. High ceilings, decorative cornicing and bay windows give principal rooms strong period charm, while modern additions such as an electric AGA, fitted kitchen and garden room provide comfortable everyday living. The property totals approximately 4,216 sq ft and sits in very large private gardens with elevated views over the village green.
Practical considerations include listed status, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance and repairs; the house also has both oil and gas central heating systems to manage. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent and the village is low-crime and affluent, making this a peaceful, secure setting.
The attached one-bedroom cottage is independently heated and can function as accommodation for a dependent relative, home office, or a separate income stream. The gated approach, double garage and parking for numerous vehicles add practical value for families with multiple cars or visitors. The location in historic Gainford provides local amenities, good primary schools and straightforward road and rail links to larger towns and cities.
Overall this is a substantial, versatile period home for buyers seeking village living, flexible multi-generational accommodation or income potential, who are comfortable with the obligations of a listed property and some ongoing maintenance responsibility.
