A PERIOD PROPERTY WITH AN 'A' ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATING!! This beautiful historic former coach house with its fabulous garden, has been subject to considerable investment in recent times by the current owners including an array of energy efficiency measures which have produced an A rating, the first the agent has seen in a none new build home. This therefore affords the luxury and proportions of a period home combined with extremely low running costs. The property is tucked away behind automated gates and dates back to 1869 when it was built alongside Mentone House which was first occupied by Sir James Reckitt. Expansive and versatile accommodation extends to around 2,700sq.ft. across two floors and enjoys a stunning westerly facing rear garden which is part walled. Overall, the plot extends to 0.35 acre with its courtyard to the front providing secure parking facilities. The well presented accommodation briefly comprises a stunning winged staircase four reception rooms and a fabulous dining kitchen with vaulted ceiling and a host of contemporary units. Practicalities are catered for by a utility room and downstairs cloaks/W.C.. Upon the first floor are four bedrooms, two being en-suite plus a separate feature family bathroom. In all, a truly unique and highly desirable property tucked away in Hessle's beautiful Southfield conservation area.
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.
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.

The property is approached through its own automated entry gates which open to a gravelled courtyard providing plenty of parking. The property occupies an overall plot of approximately 0.35 acre which is predominantly west facing to the rear garden. A paved terrace extends directly to the rear of the house with expansive lawns beyond bounded by attractive borders. The garden is part walled to the northern elevation and also includes a toughened safety glass greenhouse, garden shed and a large summerhouse/chalet to the far corner. Attached to the rear of the house is a brick built 9ft by 6ft workshop with mezzanine storage.
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.
The property has sealed unit double glazing.
Mains drainage, water and electricity are connected to the property. Gas has been voluntarily disconnected due to there being no need for such given the energy efficiency measures that have been installed, meaning no standing daily gas charge is payable.
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.
