Yew Tree Cottage is a charming Grade II‑listed stone cottage dating to 1750, set in the heart of Westow on the edge of the Howardian Hills AONB. Period details — exposed oak beams, deep‑set windows and traditional fireplaces — combine with design‑led interiors and generous reception rooms to create a warm, characterful home. The principal reception opens to a private south‑facing walled garden with stone terraces and mature planting; beyond lies a large stone outbuilding with a garage and attic room offering flexible ancillary space.
Heating is by oil/LPG with a concealed tank; double glazing is present though the install date is unknown and the original stone walls have no fitted insulation (assumed). The cottage has operated successfully as a boutique holiday let, giving buyers flexibility to continue that use or occupy as a private residence close to Malton, York, Castle Howard and the Yorkshire coast.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate some maintenance or improvement works. The EPC is currenty band F and traditional stone walls and historic fabric mean upgrades for insulation and energy efficiency will need specialist and listed‑building‑compliant solutions. Overall this is a well‑proportioned three‑bed village home with strong character, useful outbuildings and clear potential for buyers seeking a period cottage in a beautiful rural setting.
