MANSION WITH A DIFFERENCE COULD BE YOURS FOR £1.3M
A SUBSTANTIAL family home set among majestic trees, with scope to run a countryside business, is up for sale.
West Bank House, Carlton, near Goole, is on the market with Purplebricks with an asking price of £1.3m. The five-bedroom period property stands in two acres of grounds and has a further 22 acres of grassland – offering the potential for an equestrian venture – a well-stocked fishing lake, a large workshop, outbuildings and barns.
With stunning open views, the main house includes four reception rooms, a kitchen, a separate breakfast room, two bathrooms and five double bedrooms, one of which has a dressing room that could be converted into an en suite.
The house is heated by a biomass system, with ten years left on the transferable Ofgem renewable heat incentive payments.
To one side of the property, set within leafy trees, is a newly covered outside entertaining area with an electric car charging point, an ideal spot in which to relax or entertain.
A separate but attached twobedroom house could be ideal for elderly relatives, a teenagers’ retreat or as rental income.
There is an “in-out” driveway with remote gates, garaging and parking for many vehicles. The grounds include a small orchard with a variety of fruit trees, including plum, apple, pear, sweet chestnut and mulberry, mature trees and shrubs; the 1/3 acre fishing lake, stocked with rudd, roach and tench, could be another option for further income while the 22 acres of quality grassland makes for good grazing – the current owners have run a successful sheep farm as well as a haulage firm for many years.
