Around 3 acres

Low Grange dates back to the sixteenth century and is full of great charm and character having been extensively and sympathetically renovated. It enjoys a private, rural setting nestled into around three acres of countryside just outside Westow, one of the Howardian Hills’ most picturesque villages. The property has an exceptional array of beautifully refurbished courtyard outbuildings that offer a range of options including working from home and entertainment/hospitality. In addition, the glorious outdoor terraces, barbeque area with outdoor kitchen and gardens are closely linked to the principal house, all enjoying superb views across unspoilt countryside.

At the heart of the home is a 24ft wide open plan kitchen breakfast room with substantial exposed beams and three sets of floor to ceiling double doors bringing the garden into the kitchen. There is an expansive island unit incorporating a double Belfast sink, 5 ring hob and an integrated double drawer fridge. A large original brick and stone fireplace houses an electric 4 oven Aga with an extended integral 2 Oven Aga module, and the floor is a combination of flagged York Stone and polished oak floorboards. There is ample space for a breakfast table with six chairs and two sofas.

The striking dining room and adjoining library are connected by double doors.

The snug has an inglenook fireplace and log burning stove.

The dual aspect sitting room has an inglenook fireplace containing elevated open grate and sheet metal hood.

The principal bedroom suite has a vaulted ceiling, private balcony and en suite four-piece bathroom incorporating large jacuzzi bath with integrated TV, ‘his and hers’ sinks, separate walk-in shower and walk-in wardrobe.

Outside
The property is reached via a Highways owned tarmacadamed green lane (giving access to Low Grange and fields owned by a neighbouring farm) some quarter of a mile in length. Electric gates open to a parking/turning area and a wrap around drive that continues to a courtyard flanked by a triple bay garage and multiple outbuildings offering great scope and versatility. These include stable blocks, store rooms, a gym, bar, kitchen with fitted appliances and a covered sun terrace. All have recently received the benefit of new insulated roofs throughout, brick set floors, full lighting refit and cast-iron radiators.

Alongside and accessed from the kitchen breakfast room is a patio with Argentinian style barbeque area incorporating a sandstone outdoor kitchen, pizza oven and stone fireplace. The patio sits on the crescent of a sweeping lawn that descends gently, making the most of the impressive panoramic views. The main gardens have two manicured lawns with a mature tree boundary. In addition there are two enclosed paddocks: the larger paddock lies to the east, is surrounded by mixed woodland and has two timber stables; the smaller paddock lies to the north.
