Property Description
Dating from 1770, this handsome former rectory occupies a prominent position in the centre of this pretty rural village, surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and overlooking the green and historic gii* Listed church.
Having received a significant extension in 1849, the property passed into private ownership in 1954, later purchased by the present owners in 1984 who have spent the past 30 years revitalising the house and its grounds, refurbishing and renovating the roof, windows, electrical and plumbing systems. The period features have been carefully preserved and modern improvements sensitively inserted. The rooms are of near perfect proportions, blessed by copious amounts of natural light, many enjoying unspoilt views of the surround gardens. This is a handsome period house, large but not too large, perfectly suited to growing families who are looking for a home of considerable size and character.
In addition to the house there are a range of brick built outbuildings, including former stables and a coach house which has since been converted into an office with large space above currently used for storage. Alongside this is a garage/workshop and series of stores, one of which houses the oil tank. The buildings stand to one side of the entrance drive which widens to form a large parking and turning area to the side of the house. From here gardens extend to 3 sides of the house, laid predominantly to lawn but dotted with mature trees, including a fine beech, surrounded by mature hedging which provides a degree of privacy without spoiling the views or natural light levels.
Burnby is a particularly peaceful village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, situated approximately 2.5 miles south-east of the increasingly popular market town of Pocklington, home to the eponymous school, and 4 miles north-west of the market town of Market Weighton. It is well connected to both via the A1079 just over 1 mile to the east, which also provides direct A road connections to both Hull, York and Leeds.
