Description

This period townhouse, constructed around 1900, presents a unique opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment. Having not been on the market for over 70 years, this property retains numerous original features, such as classic sash windows, decorative fireplaces, and original doors that provide a glimpse into its historic charm. Located in the desirable market town of Howden, residents will benefit from a variety of local amenities including independent shops, cafes, bars, and educational facilities ranging from nursery to high school. The property's location enhances its appeal for potential buyers looking to invest in a vibrant community. Internally, the residence offers spacious accommodations. The ground floor features an inviting entrance hall with high ceilings and traditional elements leading to three sizeable reception rooms. Each room offers ample space and character; the front reception room showcases a large bay window and attractive fireplace, while the second room boasts French doors that open to the courtyard. A practical kitchen with an original water pump and adjacent pantry provides further utility. The first floor reveals a split landing that connects four generous bedrooms—a combination of front-facing rooms that capture natural light and quieter rear bedrooms. There is also a family bathroom and separate W.C., along with useful storage options throughout. Outside, the property includes a fully enclosed rear courtyard alongside two outbuildings for additional storage or potential creative use. Beyond lies a private garden predominantly laid to lawn with mature shrubs—a tranquil space waiting for thoughtful landscaping. While the property is in need of complete renovation—allowing buyers to craft their vision—the solid structural foundation and charming historical details offer substantial investment potential. This townhouse provides an exciting canvas for those looking to restore or modernize while situated in an appealing locale close to various amenities. An internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate its possibilities.
