The Grove West Street | Scawby | North | DN20 9AN The Grove

Fine and Country are delighted to offer to the market in partnership with Country Council this unique period property. Designed and built as an announcement of achievement by local ironmaster Joseph Cliff in 1890, this outstanding Grade II Listed property has the potential to become a statement residence of imposing grandeur.

Set within approximately 4.75 acres of lawned grounds and latterly used as a local authority children’s home, The Grove retains its impressive stone façade with embattled parapets with carved gargoyles and distinctive Jacobethan roof dome and currently offers ten reception rooms and seventeen bedrooms. The accommodation totals approximately 13,000 square foot arranged over two floors with additional attic space.

Welcomed via an impressive baronial style porch way, the purchaser cannot fail to be impressed by the spectacular panelled reception room with its superb decoratively carved and moulded frieze work, ornate corniced chimney piece with arched carved recess and stunning wide return oak staircase. The hall was originally open to the ornate roof dome and its restoration would create a magnificent centre piece. The previous use has necessitated the covering of some features but the 31’6 dining room with further carved fireplace and additional bay lounge overlooking the rear grounds hint at its former splendour. Included in the sale is the two bedroom annex and ancillary courtyard buildings.

Located within the conservation area on the edge of the sought after commuter village of Scawby, The Grove benefits from excellent access to the region’s major communication centres and further beyond: the and A15 trunk road lie within 2 miles and Humberside International Airport is approximately 10 mile distant.
