High Street, Henley-in-Arden, B95

'The Old Yew Trees' is a beautiful Grade II listed family home full of charm and character and offering spacious and bright accommodation throughout. Not only does this home benefit from private parking and a double garage, but a splendid Westerly facing garden to the rear.

This wonderful period home sits proudly on Henley High Street surrounded by pretty cottages and historical buildings such as this one. Built in 1579 the property has been enhanced and lovingly restored by many of its owners over many years, and we believe The Old Yew Trees was once owned by the famous canal and railway entrepreneur William James. With features you'd expect to find in a home of this age throughout the property, which include, exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings, leaded light windows some with wrought iron decoration, fabulous feature fireplaces, some original wooden flooring to name but a few

The property offers flexible living accommodation and brings together period charm alongside modern fixtures and fittings such as beautifully fitted en suites and secondary glazing.  Whether you are downsizing from a larger country home to be closer to the great amenities in Henley, or a growing family looking to upsize locally, we really do recommend an internal inspection to fully appreciate the quality and charm of this lovely market town home. 

Are you ready to be The Old Yew Trees new custodian and be part of the history of this home?
