3 bed detached house for sale

Pratts Lane, Withernwick, Hull, East Yorkshire HU11

Set within the heart of a thriving, well-connected East Riding village, this splendid country retreat presents a rare and captivating opportunity to acquire a substantial period family home extending to over 2,000 sq ft, complemented by an exceptional range of traditional brick-built outbuildings totalling around 2,300 sq ft. As if that were not enough, the property is further enhanced by a generous central courtyard, expansive established gardens and adjoining paddock land, creating a setting that truly embodies country living at its finest!

It is increasingly rare to find a village property that offers such an abundance of internal and external space while remaining perfectly positioned for modern life. Here, the best of both worlds is effortlessly achieved: A peaceful rural lifestyle paired with excellent access to neighbouring towns, coastal destinations and key commuter routes.

The potential on offer is nothing short of remarkable. The house has been lovingly maintained by the same ownership for over half a century and is now offered to the market with no onward chain. While general updating is required throughout, this simply serves to highlight the extraordinary scope available for reimagining and enhancing the accommodation to suit contemporary family living. From the moment you step inside, it becomes clear that this is a home where imagination can roam freely, whether your vision is for elegant entertaining spaces, cosy family rooms or a seamless blend of traditional character with modern design.

The outbuildings deserve special mention. Original to the house and constructed in brick beneath pitched, tiled roofs, they are arranged across several individual spaces and offer an exciting variety of potential uses, subject to the necessary consents. Whether envisaged as workshops, studios, leisure facilities, garaging, home offices or even ancillary accommodation, these buildings provide a rare and valuable asset that significantly elevates the appeal of the property.

Tucked into the gently rolling landscape of East Yorkshire, Withernwick offers a lifestyle that feels a world away from the everyday, yet remains impressively well connected. The village sits just a short drive from the coast at Hornsea, where sandy beaches, independent cafés, shops and leisure facilities provide everything needed for day-to-day living, while the city of Hull lies comfortably within reach for wider employment, retail and cultural needs.

A well-regarded public house, the historic parish church and a network of footpaths winding through open countryside all contribute to a setting that encourages a slower pace of life and a strong sense of community. For a broader social and cultural offering, the historic market town of Beverley is close at hand, renowned for its excellent dining, boutique shopping, thriving arts scene and famous racecourse.

Internally, the main accommodation benefits from oil-fired central heating and predominantly double-glazed windows. The layout in brief comprises a front entrance porch leading into a welcoming central hallway, from which a combined sitting and dining room showcases beautiful original ceiling beams and generous proportions. At the opposite end of the house sits a versatile family room or snug, also featuring exposed beams and a charming open fire, ideal for relaxed evenings. The kitchen is positioned to the rear and is bursting with potential, offering ample scope for redesign or extension. An inner hallway provides access to a study, useful storage, a bathroom and a separate WC, while a rear porch opens directly into the courtyard beyond.

To the first floor, a large central landing provides access to three double bedrooms, all of excellent proportions and brimming with character. One bedroom benefits from an adjoining dressing room, offering further flexibility and potential for conversion into an en-suite or additional bedroom space. A conveniently positioned cloakroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside, the property continues to impress at every turn. A dedicated driveway approach sweeps around to a substantial courtyard area that connects the house and outbuildings, providing parking for an impressive number of vehicles and creating a highly practical and visually striking arrival space. The outbuildings are arranged across six separate ground-floor rooms, with an attached greenhouse and an outstanding first-floor games room extending to approximately 38 feet in length, offering exceptional versatility.

The gardens enjoy a sunny, south-facing aspect and are predominantly laid to lawn, framed by established trees and shrubs that provide both privacy and maturity. In addition, there is an enclosed paddock to the side of the property along with a further smaller paddock, both offering a wealth of possibilities for recreational, lifestyle or hobby-based use.

Council Tax Band F is payable to East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The EPC rating is awaited. We are delighted to bring this truly special property to the market and strongly recommend a detailed inspection to fully appreciate the scale, character and exceptional potential on offer.

This is not simply a house; it is a canvas for something truly special.
