3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Low Beams is an unusually spacious cottage, which started out as a row of three smaller cottages. Constructed of stone under a pantile roof, within recent years the property has been skilfully extended and reconfigured, resulting in a unique property of over 2,000sq.ft set within large gardens in a private setting.

Considerable efforts have been made to ensure that the cottage is as energy efficient as possible, incorporating as much insulation as possible, photovoltaic solar panels, double glazing, and an efficient central heating system, which is underfloor throughout the ground floor.

In brief, the accommodation includes an open-fronted porch, dining hall, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, utility room and ground floor shower/cloakroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two of which have en-suites, and a further house shower room. The master bedroom also has a dressing room/home office space.

The property occupies a generous plot of almost one quarter of an acre. It enjoys an almost hidden location within Westow, having an access from the Main Street, and a pedestrian access onto Chapel Lane. A timber gate opens onto a gravelled parking area, and the gardens themselves have been attractively landscaped and enjoy a great deal of privacy, and a useful, stone-built store.

Westow is an attractive conservation village set in pleasant countryside, in an area where the landscape of the Howardian Hills opens out into the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds. The village benefits from a highly regarded pub and restaurant, The Blacksmith’s Arms and has a well-supported cricket club. The nearby market town of Malton (6 miles) offers a good range of amenities, including shops, restaurants and cafes, tennis courts, swimming pool, gym, cinema and excellent schools. There is easy access to York, approximately 14 miles, with all its varied facilities, including a mainline railway station with direct services to London Kings Cross in less than 2 hours.
