A stunning detached home and adjoining renovated barn has been described as one of the area’s ‘best-kept secrets’ after coming up for sale. The dream home in the charming, historic village of Roos, 12 miles east of Hull, was apparently something of an “ugly duckling” when it was first bought by its current owners.
Now the property – set next to a Christmas tree farm – has been totally reconfigured. The owners have created a four bed, three bathroom rural idyll with a dramatic dining room, feature living room, showstopping kitchen and family room and a stunning principal bedroom, with views for miles over surrounding countryside. And most importantly it has the most amazing annexe in the form of a converted 19th Century barn.
Hidden from the road and accessed through impressive wooden gates into a private courtyard the detached home, known as Gin Rummy, also has a sitting room at the front and a dedicated home cinema room. The showpiece kitchen and family room now has sleek cabinetry, stainless steel worktops, two self-cleaning ovens, a six-burner gas hob, and a walk-in pantry — a dream for keen chefs and bakers.
And on warmer days the bifold doors of the spectacular dining room can be opened, to look out on those dreamy southeast-facing countryside views. The ground floor has an ensuite bedroom plus guest cloakroom, while the upstairs has a shower room and two further double rooms, including a luxury principal suite with a freestanding.
The gardens, meanwhile, have well kept lawns, seating, and well-stocked beds, all with panoramic countryside and Christmas tree farm views. There’s also a substantial double garage, workshop, and parking within the private courtyard.
A spokesman for Reeds Rains Hull said: “When the current owners first viewed the house, it was something of an ugly duckling. What they have achieved since is nothing short of spectacular. Every inch has been reimagined, reconfigured, and renovated, elevating it into one of the most energy-efficient and beautifully appointed homes currently for sale in the area — just one point away from achieving an EPC rating of A.
“It is presented to the very highest standards throughout, with a level of attention to detail that cannot fail to impress. Tucked away from view and invisible from the road, this property is one of the area’s best-kept secrets.
“Accessed through imposing tall wooden gates, a private courtyard opens to reveal something truly remarkable: a stunning detached home, known as Gin Rummy, together with a beautifully converted former barn dating back to 1832, now transformed into a stylish self-contained one-bedroom annex. Add in a substantial double garage and workshop, and you have a property that blends historic character with cutting-edge modern living in unforgettable style.”
The house is on the market with Reed Rains for £560,000.
