Introduction - This beautiful historic former coach house with its fabulous garden, affords the luxury and proportions of a period home combined with low running costs. This property is hidden away, approached over approximately seventy metres of traditional pea gravel driveway, behind two layers of automated gates. It dates back to 1869, when it was built alongside Mentone House, which was first occupied by Sir James Reckitt. Converted to a home just after the Millenium, the property has since had the benefit of significant investment in green energy. The property offers versatile accommodation extending to around 2700 square feet across two floors.

The well presented, one of a kind, accommodation briefly comprises a stunning winged double staircase, four reception rooms and a fabulous dining kitchen with vaulted ceiling. Practicalities are catered for by a utility room and downstairs cloakroom and toilet plus a good sized work from home room tucked away at the end of the house. Upon the first floor are four double bedrooms, two being ensuite, plus a separate feature family bathroom.

The plot totals 0.35 acres, including the stunning westerly faced rear garden, which is well stocked and part walled by the original south facing Victorian kitchen garden wall. To the front of the property there is a courtyard with secure parking for multiple cars.

All in all a truly unique and highly desirable property, tucked away in Hessle's beautiful Southfield Conservation Area.

Seller's Statement - "In 21 years here, our home has stood by us, in both the good times and the bad. From a celebration with 170 friends with marquees and a bouncy castle, to the opposite extreme of the dark days of Covid, we couldn't have wished for a better place to live. It's been our happy place and we have been privileged to be it's custodians. Now it's time for us to hand on the baton as we enter a new phase in our lives."

Energy Efficiency Measures - The current owners have invested heavily to achieve the "Holy Grail" of green energy with the combination of Insulation, Solar, Batteries and Heat Pump, giving the Energy Performance Certificate 'A 'Rating. Combined with a dedicated Heat Pump tariff, this has driven down running costs to levels not normally associated with a property of this type.

Location - The property occupies a discreet location behind its own automated gates which are accessed from the entrance to Mentone House which itself has a gated entrance onto West Hill, Woodfield Lane in Hessle's beautiful Southfield conservation area. Hessle offers everything you could want having a superb range of shops and amenities including fine restaurants, cafes, bars, boutique shops, delicatessens, supermarkets, newsagent, bank, chemist, gift shops, hair/beauty salons, health centre, takeaways and much more, all of which make it such a desirable place to live. Situated approximately 5 miles to the west of Hull City Centre on the banks of the River Humber, Hessle benefits from excellent road and rail links with its own railway station, regular bus service and immediate access to the Clive Sullivan dual carriageway (A63) leading into Hull to the east or the national motorway network to the west.

Energy Efficiency Detail - The current owners have given thoughtful consideration and carried out much research into energy efficiency and together with quality installation, have created a highly efficient home. Features include an air source heat pump, 10 x solar panels, 10kWh hours of battery with 3.6kw inverter. G99 Approval has been sought and approved to extend the system further with an additional inverter, should it be required.
This has slashed running costs by approximately 2/3rds for the owners.

Heating - Heating is by way of air source heat pump. The system is run using a "weather compensation" system instead of using internal thermostats and adjusts the heat inputted into the house according to the outside temperature.

Double Glazing - The property has sealed unit double glazing.

Services - Mains drainage, water, electricity and high speed full fibre internet are connected to the property.

Material Information - The vendor has advised that a covenant from Hull Charterhouse exists on the land, meaning that their permission would need to be sought for building a separate building on the garden. We believe that it may have expired due its age. Any incoming purchaser would need to take their own legal advice regarding this.

Tenure - Freehold

Council Tax Band - From a verbal enquiry we are led to believe that the Council Tax band for this property is Band G. We would recommend a purchaser make their own enquiries to verify this.
