Main Street, Westow, York

A detached, stone & pantile building together with outside space & hardstanding, located within the village development limits, offering great potential, subject to planning.

This former butcher’s shop is located close to the centre of the village and has been in the ownership of the same family since the late 1970s. Created from a stone and pantile barn, there are later additions on both sides of the building, which has a total floor area of approximately 60sq.metres (646sq.ft).

The building, which has been out of use for around ten years, is located within both the Westow development limits and its village’s Conservation Area. As such, we feel it offers exciting potential for alternative uses, including residential, subject to securing all necessary permissions.

Occupying a plot of approximately 210sq.metres, the property includes an area of tarmac hardstanding with space to park and is enclosed from the Main Street by a dry-stone wall. With the exception of gas, all mains services are understood to be connected. The property enjoys a pleasant position within the village, adjacent to the War Memorial.

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.
