3 bedroom detached house

Railway Cottage is the former crossing keepers gatehouse that was converted to residential living in 1966 and sits within a quiet rural hamlet, Low Marishes, between Malton to Pickering. Offering contemporary living whilst marrying the old with new, this cleverly conceived modern renovation seamlessly stitches together the history of the railway era to present an extensive and incredibly well-executed home with numerous outbuildings. With an exquisite, private rear garden overlooking rural countryside with views to the east over the Wolds and to the North over the Moors.

The property stands back from the road, and to the front there is a small pretty lawned garden with standing area for cars and access to the extensive workshops. There is an abundance of fruit trees including Bramley apple, plum, cherry and pear plus gooseberry and blackcurrant bushes along the picket fence at the front and the side of the house. The back garden is a real gem, surrounded by mature trees with open fields to two sides. Having sympathetically restored what was a very sad, neglected cottage it is now a very beautiful three bedroom home.

With a no expense spared approach to the build, high end fixtures and fittings plus extensive thought to include Railway memorabilia to compliment the properties history have been carefully added inside and out.

Situated between Malton and Pickering, Low Marishes is a rural hamlet with a Church of England chapel and a full range of services available in the nearby market towns. 'Yorkshire's food capital', Malton, is a few minutes' drive away and plays host to many fine independent shops, cafés and restaurants, a cinema, hospital, good schooling and a railway station with a regular service to York and Scarborough. The City of York can be reached in about half an hour and its mainline railway station connects to London Kings Cross in under two hours. Just eight miles to the north lies the North York Moors and Dalby Forest.
