A period three bedroom cottage with a wealth of exposed timbers and character which has undergone a programme of restoration. Located in an unspoilt village between the market town of Malton and York.

Yew Tree Cottage is a beautifully restored Grade II listed home dating back to 1750, set in the heart of the sought-after village of Westow, on the edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Combining more than 270 years of history with design-led interiors and modern comforts, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property that is both steeped in character and ready for contemporary living.

The accommodation is full of charm, with exposed oak beams, deep-set windows and traditional fireplaces. The main reception room opens directly to the garden and is centred around a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting living space. A second reception room with open fire provides further versatility for dining or entertaining, while the farmhouse kitchen blends practicality with heritage style. Upstairs, three restful bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower over bath complete the accommodation.

Outside, the cottage opens onto a private south-facing walled garden with stone terraces, lawn and mature planting. At its heart sits the village’s original well — a unique historic feature. Beyond the garden lies a large stone outbuilding incorporating a spacious garage with attic above and a generous room currently used for storage, offering rare versatility. Heating is supplied by LPG with a concealed underground tank.

Yew Tree Cottage has also operated as a boutique holiday let with excellent feedback, offering buyers the flexibility to continue this use or enjoy it as a private residence close to Malton, Castle Howard, York, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire coast.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.
