Holme Road, Market Weighton YO43

** video tour available ** This outstanding two-bedroom double-fronted home, dating back to 1842 and rich in heritage, believed to have originally served as a general merchant’s store before later becoming a girls’ school and then a residence in the 1940s, has been beautifully transformed by the current owner into a truly exceptional home, blending cottage-style charm with stylish modern living and impressive attention to detail throughout. The property offers generous proportions and begins with an impressive entrance hall featuring a striking original staircase and minstrels gallery detail, leading to a superb 2025 fitted kitchen complete with Neff appliances, a central peninsula, excellent storage, dining space and French doors opening onto the garden, alongside a separate WC and an elegant sitting room with feature fireplace. Upstairs there are two beautifully presented bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and a feature fireplace in the main bedroom, complemented by a stylish, contemporary bathroom. Outside, the south-facing walled garden has been thoughtfully landscaped for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring lawned areas, well-stocked borders, raised beds, paved seating terraces, a garden room/office and an attached store, creating a rare and wonderful home where history, character and modern comfort combine seamlessly. The property also benefits from an air source heat pump providing energy-efficient, low-carbon heating, along with owned solar panels and a 5kW battery storage system, offering improved efficiency and potential reduced running costs.
