4 bed detached house for sale

Cromwell Road, Cleethorpes DN35

Crofts Estate Agents are delighted to present Ryehill — an impressive and highly individual 1937 Art Deco family residence occupying a superb corner position on the highly desirable Cromwell Road in Cleethorpes.

Believed to have been originally constructed for one of the directors of the renowned local building company Wilkinson and Houghton Ltd, this rather special detached home retains a wealth of authentic architectural character. From its distinctive wooden shingle-clad first-floor elevation and castellated parapets to the basketwork pattern lintels and quadrant-shaped entrance lobby, there is always something to catch the eye and set it apart from its neighbours.

Properties of this size, position and potential are rarely offered for sale in this sought-after location. Offering an exceptional amount of accommodation and generous gardens, Ryehill provides the perfect blank canvas for a new owner to modernise and personalise, creating a truly outstanding long-term family home.

The ground floor is particularly impressive. A breathtaking wood-panelled reception hall with mezzanine gallery landing sets the tone, leading to a versatile arrangement of rooms including a grand drawing room with classic mahogany fire surround and semi-circular bay, a main lounge with French doors opening onto the rear garden, a combined sitting/dining room, a delightful conservatory, a large study/office, and a comprehensively fitted dining kitchen with chestnut units, pale grey worksurfaces and Neff appliances. A utility room and useful cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

At first floor level, a particularly substantial central galleried landing provides access to four well-proportioned double bedrooms (three with double-aspect windows for maximum natural light). One bedroom features a concealed vanity handbasin — an early forerunner to en-suite facilities — while the family bathroom is complete with a sunken bath, quadrant shower and original tiling. There is also a separate WC, and a pull-down ladder gives access to a spacious standing room loft providing excellent storage.

Ryehill benefits from gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and a security alarm system, and is adjoined by an excellent-sized garage with sliding doors and internal access to the house.

The outside space is one of the property’s major attractions. Occupying a substantial corner plot, the front garden is wonderfully mature and well screened from Cromwell Road by established shrubs and trees, creating a good degree of privacy. A driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the garage, while a wider-than-expected side garden adds further appeal.

The superb rear garden offers a generous rectangular lawn, a sunken paved area with pond, and beds and borders replete with established shrubs, plants and flowers — a wonderful private setting for family life and entertaining. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, there is also the exciting possibility of creating a second driveway from Howlett Road to further enhance parking provision.

The facilities of the popular resort of Cleethorpes are within easy reach, with the sea front just a few hundred metres away at the eastern end of Cromwell Road. Shopping, bars and restaurants on St Peters Avenue and the Kingsway, together with regular bus services, complete the convenient location.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly characterful family home on one of Cleethorpes’ most desirable roads — offering space, privacy, architectural interest, an exceptional plot and enormous potential.

Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, position and possibilities that Ryehill has to offer.
