Description
The Property
West End Cottage, 'Westmere' , dating back to 1760, is a beautifully restored four-bedroom period home blending classic charm with modern style, located in the picturesque, unspoilt village of Fimber.
Inside, you'll find a hallway leading to two spacious reception rooms with exposed beams and brick fireplaces. The spacious kitchen features bespoke units, oak worktops, and French doors leading to a patio. The ground floor also includes a w.c. and utility room.
The property has been extended and offers four bedrooms in two separate wings of the house, divided by two staircases for added privacy. There are three double bedrooms and one single. The shower room is contemporary and recently up-dated to a high standard. The property also offers ample storage space.
Outside, a large driveway offers ample parking and the cottage benefits from a front garden with beautiful climbing plants, including a mature passion flower. The cottage-style garden at the front leads to a grassy bank, planted with shrubs and roses; in turn it leads via a gate to the upper patio which commands lovely uninterrupted views across fields, and towards the Wolds and the ancient Church of Fimber.
The south-facing, mature gardens have a number of lawns and provide breathtaking countryside views, multiple seating areas, and a large summerhouse with power, perfect for enjoying the surroundings, including sunsets, or as a home studio or office. In particular, there is a large sun-trap patio leading directly via the French windows from the kitchen, ideal for al-fresco dining.
Enjoy lovely walks or cycling through the unspoiled Wolds and North Yorkshire countryside, with a number of walks directly from the door. The cottage is therefore well situated for access to areas of outstanding natural beauty, home to abundant wildlife and also to the beautiful and extensive North Yorkshire coast. The attractive market town of Malton, well-connected to York, is within 15 minutes drive from the cottage.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPCs)
An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
