Dunswell Road, Cottingham, HU16 4JR

A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and distinctive 3 bedroom detached house with paddocks and two large former agricultural buildings (approaching 4,300 sq ft).  In all it amounts to about 4.59 acres.  It may suit a variety of purchasers with differing end purposes in mind but does come with a ready made business as the hardstanding is utilised as a 50 unit caravan storage operation and there are also 5 touring caravan pitches.  A really interesting opportunity that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

 

This great property will appeal to buyers looking for a house with space, a ready made business, equine interests and a wide range of other potential purchasers.  It consists of a distinctive and spacious 3 bedroom detached house on a plot approaching 5 acres that includes paddocks, a large area of enclosed car hardstanding and 2 purpose built agricultural sheds which total approximately 4,300 square feet.  It is currently used to run a caravan storage operation with space for 50 units and there are also 5 touring caravan pitches with electric hook ups.  The space may also facilitate other business uses (subject to necessary permissions) given the storage and fenced hardstanding space.  The detached house offers nearly 1,700 sq ft of space when the bar/entertainment space (former garage) is included so is a spacious 3 bedroom property. There is an attractive driveway and garden area to the front and an enclosed garden to the rear.  The house benefits from gas fired central heating and extensive double glazing.  The accommodation briefly comprises: a spacious Entrance Hall, through Living Room, a Study, spacious fitted Dining Kitchen, Side Entrance Hall, WC Cloaks and a Bar/Entertainment Room which has been created from the former single garage.  To the first floor there is an appealing galleried Landing with large airing cupboard, 3 Double Bedrooms (all with fitted wardrobes and one with a walk in wardrobe) and a spacious Bathroom with separate shower unit. 

 

One of the agricultural sheds is located to the rear of the garden and its high entrance door opens onto a large concrete yard which sits immediately behind the garden.  A gate from there leads to further hardstanding and then via another gate to the enclosed caravan storage area with permission for 50 caravans.  From here the second of the agricultural sheds can be accessed via a high roller door. To the south of the second shed lies an area of hardstanding and grass which accommodates the 5 touring caravan pitches with electric hook ups.  Access to the touring pitch site is from the concrete yard via a gate.  To the south and west of the touring pitches lie the majority of the paddocks which comprise 4 fenced areas each, a stable block and other individual buildings.  There is a further small paddock situated to the east of the house.

 

This really is a very interesting opportunity, particularly given its location just north of Cottingham. Only a physical viewing will allow a potential purchaser to fully appreciate all that this great property offers.  It has been a much loved home for some time but our clients are looking for a change so have made it available to the open market.  We do have a 360 degree tour which will provide a useful insight into the house itself.

 

LOCATION
