Cowick Road, Snaith, East Riding of Yorkshire DN14

Beech Grove is an exceptional five-bedroom detached Georgian residence, Grade II listed and believed to date back to circa 1820. This elegant period home is steeped in history and charm, retaining a wealth of original features including fireplaces in most rooms—one with a bespoke oak surround by renowned craftsman Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson—ornate cornices, sash windows, internal doors, and beautifully preserved oak floorboards. The property offers spacious and flexible family accommodation across two floors and is further enhanced by potential to convert the coach house into a dwelling (subject to planning permission).

The ground floor accommodation begins with a striking entrance hall, showcasing a period timber front door, stripped oak flooring, decorative coving, and a spindle staircase ascending to the galleried first-floor landing. A doorway provides access to a useful cellar, ideal for storage and utility use.

There are three generously proportioned reception rooms: a formal sitting room with a marble fireplace and access to the side paved garden; a spacious dining room featuring a fireplace with marble surround; and a characterful breakfast room/playroom complete with built in storage, window shutters and the distinctive ‘Mouseman’ fire surround.

The well-appointed kitchen/diner is fitted with classic Shaker-style units, a breakfast bar, quartz worktops, a “double” Belfast sink with Quooker hot water tap, and a freestanding 'Rangemaster' cooker. It also includes an integrated dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge freezer, all set against solid wood effect luxury vinyl. A rear French doors provides direct access to the private paved courtyard area.

The property also benefits from existing planning permission to extend the kitchen—please contact us for further details.

Toward the rear of the property on the opposite side, you'll find a spacious laundry room featuring a Belfast sink, a linen cupboard, and a modern Vaillant boiler (installed in 2020), along with a convenient ground floor WC.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to five generously sized bedrooms, four of which feature original cast iron fireplaces and have been tastefully redecorated throughout. The recently renovated family bathroom is stylishly appointed with a freestanding bath, separate shower, pedestal basin, low-flush WC, part-tiled walls, and a radiator.

Externally, the property is approached via wrought iron electric gates opening onto a gravelled driveway shared with two neighbouring properties. Ample private parking is available to the side of the house. A separate pedestrian entrance from Cowick Road, through stone pillars, leads to the front door. The gardens are laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, shrubs, and bushes, offering both privacy and kerb appeal.

To the right, a spacious paved area offers an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. A timber gate opens into the enclosed rear courtyard, which features a collection of charming brick outbuildings, including a store, garage space, former coal house, and an original outside WC. There is lapsed planning permission to convert the coach house into a dwelling—an excellent opportunity for development or business use. A second gate provides convenient side access to the property.

Situated within walking distance of the historic market town centre, local amenities, and well-regarded schools, Beech Grove also benefits from excellent commuter links with the M62 motorway just a short drive away. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled period home of considerable presence and charm. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, quality, and heritage of this unique family property.
