Highgate

Grand period town house with beautifully proportioned rooms extending over three storeys.

A beautiful and grand period townhouse situated on one of Beverley's most historic thoroughfares, which leads between Wednesday Market and the Minster. Offered with vacant possession, the property extends over three floors and features fabulously well-proportioned accommodation that retains many characterful features.

With two generously sized reception rooms plus the kitchen, the property offers four bedrooms, the master having an en-suite bathroom, along with a further family bathroom on the second floor. The current owner has made full use of this flexible layout by having living rooms on both the ground and first floors. Fronting straight onto historic Highgate, the property also boasts a beautiful, established rear garden.

Location - The property is located on Highgate between the highly regarded Monks Walk public house and Beverley's historic Minster. This superb position in one of the most historic areas of Beverley lies very close to the amenities of the town centre, with Wednesday Market only 100 metres from the front of the property.
