Oak Tree Cottage, Moor Lane, York, YO32 2QW

A unique, single storey barn conversion enjoying a peaceful, rural location with open views, around 1 mile north of Haxby village.

Oak Tree Cottage is a unique home which enjoys the best of both worlds, a wonderfully peaceful position amidst open countryside, across which there are stunning views, all within a mile of Haxby’s many amenities, and just 5 miles north of York city centre.

The former barn which occupied the site was converted around a little over a year ago, and an oak-framed extension added to create this spectacular and light-filled, single storey home, which has a real focus on energy efficiency.

The property features high-quality aluminium double-glazed windows, high-levels of insulation and stone flagged floors with zoned underfloor heating, powered by an air-source heat pump.

Enjoying a south-facing orientation, Oak Tree Cottage is flooded with copious amounts of natural light, the centrepiece being a large open-plan living space, which shows off its oak frame and features floor to ceiling windows on three sides and a wood burning stove.

The accommodation is arranged over a single level and amounts to almost 850sq.ft.

In brief it comprises a 25ft open-plan living/dining/kitchen space, inner hall with built-in storage, two double bedrooms and a house bathroom.

The property enjoys a sunny position and benefits from attractively landscaped gardens to three sides, in addition to a generous parking area.

The area to the rear includes several useful storage buildings, and the whole property enjoys delightful views across open fields, in a peaceful and highly appealing setting.
