5 bedroom property for sale

Standing in a secluded part of this delightful village and occupying a site of approximately 4.5 acres, St Magnus Lodge is an absolute gem. Constructed in the mid 1990's using reclaimed bricks the property stands on the site of a former 18th Century stock building. The property includes the remaining brick and tile outbuildings part of which have been converted to provide a self contained annexe which has been used by the present owners for holiday lets and could easily be used for additional accommodation to the existing dwelling (subject to necessary planning consent). Planning has also been granted for the conversion of remaining outbuilding to form two further holiday letting units. In addition to the fine four bedroom principal accommodation and the extensive outbuildings, St Magnus Lodge enjoys a peaceful setting in the shadow of the village church and offers thoughtfully landscaped extensive gardens which are a natural haven for wildlife. Bessingby village is a conservation area and pleasantly situated on the sloping side of the Wolds hills facing the sea, approximately 1 1/2 miles south west of Bridlington.

Outbuildings

In addition to the annexe, St Magnus Lodge enjoys an extensive and useful range of outbuildings which include the unconverted part of the substantial brick and tile barn beneath the annexe which provides open fronted cart sheds and a garden store which houses a ride on lawnmower. The large full height barn which presently serves as a useful store has now had planning approval for conversion to form two further two bedroom holiday cottages. Adjoining the two storey barn is a further range of single storey brick and tile outbuildings part of which are included in the plans for conversion but the remainder could provide stabling and tack room facilities.

Planning consent

Full planning consent was passed under application number DC/09/04627/plf/eastnn in february 2010 for the conversion of redundant barn to form two holiday cottages. Plans showing the detail of this proposed conversion can be seen on site during viewings.

Garden room

A most attractive feature of the garden is the former tractor shed which has been renovated and utilised as a garden room. It features a brick floor and corner open fire with chimney/barbecue and sink. This provides an excellent covered dining area and space for a table tennis etc.

Gardens

The gardens to the property are a particularly delightful feature. To the front of the main house in the courtyard flanked by outbuildings, the owners have created a Mediterranean style garden with plants growing through the gravel and numerous climbing plants adorning the house and outbuildings.
Immediately to the rear a country garden has been created with a central lawn and gravel pathways flanked by colourful shrub and plant borders. Beyond this area lies a less formal garden which has been landscaped within the large paddock. This includes a large pond with pumped water cascade, shaped hedges and extensive tree plantations, lawned walkways and peaceful seating areas.
In addition to the 3.2 acres that forms the freehold of the property, the current owners have taken a 99 year lease from 2008 with no rental payment on 1.2 acres of neighbouring woodland. This area is shown on the plan within these particulars edged in blue.
This garden area is a haven for wildlife and a blaze of colour in the spring and summer months.
