Part Lane, Swallowfield, RG7

Yewtree Farm has a coveted setting off a quiet country lane amidst established farmland; it feels wonderfully rural yet is minutes from a well-appointed village and four miles from the M4 motorway and 11 miles from the M3. The original part of the cottage is believed to
have been built in the 16th century and later refinished in the 18th century, and is Grade II-listed, notable for its exposed timber frame and inglenook fireplace. The character features, combined with the painstaking renovations undertaken by the vendor, perfectly blend modern and traditional country style, and the interiors are immaculately presented throughout. The house has magnificent far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and its own lovely gardens, which amount to
about 3 acres, of which 2.5 are agricultural presenting an excellent opportunity for equestrians.

Outside

Yewtree Farm is set on a quiet country lane, with open countryside on all sides. It’s set within well-established grounds, including mature southwest-facing gardens with a large, fenced paddock to the rear which would be suitable for grazing – there is a detached timber double stable in the paddock which can be closed off to create stabling. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and feature a number of trees, a charming pond, a summerhouse and a large paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining – there’s an area for a table and chairs and a separate, sunken space which can be arranged like an outdoor sitting room. To the front, a good-size gravel driveway provides ample parking, and
there is a garage within the barn-style extension.
