A former farmhouse in a picturesque rural village in the East Riding has been converted into a dream family home – and it could be yours after coming on the market. Steeped in history and packed to the rafters with original features, The Chestnuts is a Grade II listed property in the leafy village of Burton Pidsea.
Having been lovingly renovated by its current owners, who moved into the home in 2007, the building has four huge bedrooms, three bathrooms, three reception rooms and a vast 27ft kitchen, dining and family room. And it’s for sale for offers around £580,000 with Reeds Rains Hull.
Set over three floors – with three impressive staircases – the home has a massive footprint of over 4,000 sq ft, blending original charm with period features. It is also up for sale with no onward chain.
Property agents Reeds Rains Hull said: “When the current owners first stepped through the front door in 2007, there was no doubt in their minds – this was to be their dream family home. Although in need of total renovation, they saw the potential and embarked on an extensive and sensitive restoration programme.
“The result is quite simply stunning. Many original features have been preserved, while others – such as decorative coving and fireplaces – have been carefully sourced or recreated to reflect the home’s early 19th-century heritage, blending seamlessly with modern touches for comfortable everyday living.
“This is a home of genuinely grand proportions and immense warmth, where character and attention to detail are evident throughout. The Chestnuts is a truly magnificent detached former farmhouse, Grade II listed and dating back to 1835, occupying a commanding position along the peaceful and leafy Back Lane in the highly sought-after East Riding village of Burton Pidsea.
“Outside, the property continues to impress. An in-and-out gravel driveway provides plentiful parking and leads to an attached garage. The grounds are equally special—beautifully landscaped, with a mature lawned garden to the side, enclosed by established trees, shrubs and a striking original brick and stone wall.
“At the rear, a charming enclosed courtyard offers a tranquil spot to relax, and the former stable block, currently used for storage, is brimming with potential for conversion into a studio, garden room or home office.
“This is a truly remarkable home—rich in history, full of soul, and immaculately presented.”
