Yew Tree Cottage, Bramerton
Cradled discreetly behind mature hedging and framed by the soft silhouette of the village church beyond, this 18th-century character cottage stands proud — a rare and beautiful harmony of period charm and contemporary refinement. From the moment the timber five-bar gate swings open onto the gravel drive, there’s a quiet sense that you’re entering somewhere special — a home that has been cherished and thoughtfully brought into the modern day without ever forgetting its roots.
Originally believed to have been two or three cottages, joined and then extended in the 1970s, its heritage runs deep. The home is full of authentic 18th-century character, and every friend who visits, the vendors add, “is always a little bit jealous!”
This is not just a house — it is a cherished dream home. The vendors say, “It will be very hard to leave,” and it’s easy to see why.
Set on a generous 0.26 acre plot (stms), the cottage greets you with its timeless proportions and warm, welcoming presence. Step inside on a winter’s evening and you’re immediately met by the warmth from the cast iron burner nestled within a brick fireplace — the heartbeat of the entrance hall, a space that offers not only a warm reception, but a glimpse into the soul of the home. The vendors note that this one wood burner is often sufficient to warm the entire home during the winter months — a true testament to the cottage’s snug and energy-efficient design.
The sitting room stretches out to 18 feet in length, its dual aspect windows catching the day’s light as it moves through. Original beams run above, while underfoot, fitted carpets soften each step. A second wood burner crackles gently in the colder months, inviting slow evenings and good conversation. The vendors describe this space as “cosy on a winter’s evening,” a firm favourite among guests and family alike. A door here quietly leads out to the garden — perfect for letting in the breeze on a summer evening.
At the heart of the home lies an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area — a space designed not just for cooking, but for connection. Solid wood worktops crown the cabinetry and central island, a natural gathering spot for family and friends alike. The kitchen is fully fitted with a Rangemaster cooker (new when the vendors moved in), along with a Bosch integrated dishwasher, freezer and larder fridge. From here, views stretch across the private rear garden, making the washing-up — if ever needed — a pleasure. With exposed beams overhead and warm light streaming in from both directions, the room feels both open and intimate. The vendors highlight that the dining area comfortably hosts large gatherings, making it perfect for entertaining.
From the kitchen, a versatile adjoining room awaits — once a pantry, now a flexible space ready to evolve with your needs and provides internal access to the integral garage. A smartly fitted utility and a sleek ground-floor shower room complete the downstairs — thoughtful touches that make everyday living seamless.
Upstairs, the story continues with five beautifully proportioned bedrooms. Currently, three are set up as doubles, one is arranged as a twin and the fifth is used as a home office — flexible spaces that suit modern family life perfectly. The principal suite is complete with built-in wardrobes, a serene garden outlook, and its own private en suite with a charming roll-top bath and overhead shower. The family bathroom is especially generous, with room to reconfigure if needed, but already features a striking roll-top bath and plenty of floor space — a rare luxury.
Outside, the magic continues. The front garden stretches out in soft green tones, offering a generous lawn and space for croquet matches, as well as off-road parking for multiple cars on a wide gravel drive. Ownership of this driveway remains with the property, while neighbours enjoy access. Mature hedging and trees create privacy, while a selection of fruit trees — plum, apple, flowering cherry — lovingly planted by the vendors, now flourish.
The front and rear gardens have mature silver birch, yew, walnut and hornbeam trees adding to the biodiversity and character of the garden. The rear garden is just as delightful as the front, with lawn, a patio for outdoor dining, and a raised vegetable plot for seasonal growing. Regular visitors include friendly patridges and pheasants, the latter often appearing at the door to be fed — a small but special moment that reflects the relationship between this home and its surroundings.
Situated within a conservation area, this peaceful corner of the countryside offers more than just beauty — it offers belonging. The community spirit here is strong, and the setting rich with wildlife, nature, and seasonal delight. The home itself is future-proofed too, with 14 solar panels discreetly installed to reduce energy costs and environmental impact.
Whether it's the feeling of warmth by the fire on a cold January evening, the laughter of a summer garden party beneath the walnut trees, or simply the peace of watching the world go by from a sunny kitchen window — this is a home that holds memories, welcomes more, and wraps its arms around you from the moment you step inside.
