Lower Road, Bratton, Westbury, Wiltshire, BA13

An impressive Grade II listed detached family home with established gardens in need of modernisation/renovation.

Description

Set along Lower Road in the heart of Bratton, Yew Trees House is the kind of property that feels woven into the landscape,historic and handsome. With its timeless red brick elevations and traditional sash style windows, it belongs as much to the rural scenery as the open countryside that unfolds beyond it.

Stepping inside, the property radiates the warmth and authenticity of an older home that has retained its character without pretence. The interiors are punctuated with original fireplaces, panelled doors and deep, hand built window reveals, all quiet hallmarks of real heritage.

The house unfolds generously across more than 500 sq m (approx. 5,400 sq ft) of internal accommodation arranged over three floors as well as a cellar. This is a home that offers both grandeur and flexibility; its scale is immediately apparent, yet never overwhelming.

Multiple reception rooms, some with dual aspects, others framed around fireplaces create distinct atmospheres for family life. From cosy corners to expansive entertaining spaces, each room offers a different mood and purpose. Upstairs, generously proportioned bedrooms flood with natural light, and several upper floor spaces enjoy far reaching countryside views.

For all its charm, Yew Trees House is ready for imaginative reinvention. The existing layout offers remarkable potential for a contemporary open plan living spaces, a statement kitchen, luxurious bedroom suites with dressing rooms and enhanced indoor and outdoor connectivity, making use of the gardens and views (all subject to the necessary permissions).

Whether the vision is a sympathetic restoration, a bold redesign, or a blend of both, the scale and structure of the home offers exceptional flexibility and a rewarding family home at the end of it.
