Dating back to the 18th Century and updated throughout by the current owners, Yew Tree Cottage is a stunning Grade II Listed period home ready for its next prospective owner to move straight in. With a well-established garden, gated parking, and three double bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms, the property offers more than 1,600 sq.ft of internal accommodation set over three floors.

This exceptional and rather unique home has been meticulously maintained to a high standard by the current owners to provide character and period charm combined with modern practicality.  As you enter the property you are greeted by the open plan kitchen-diner which truly is the heart of the home. The bespoke kitchen comprises of a fully fitted made to measure dresser base and larder cupboard and base units with Belfast sink, Everhot Range Cooker, and space for further freestanding appliances. With views over the garden to the front, the kitchen enjoys light throughout the afternoon courtesy of its westerly aspect. The dining area provides ample space for a freestanding dining table in front of the imposing feature fireplace with Bath stone surround and working wood burner. Original Flag Stone flooring and wooden beams continue the period charm. Beyond the kitchen a separate utility room provides ample space for a freestanding washer / dryer and there is the added benefit of a ground floor WC. The dual aspect sitting is accessible from the kitchen-diner and provides generous proportions, measuring 14” 4’ x 15” 10’. Dual aspect windows fill the room with natural light and a second working fireplace helps create a cosy feel during the evening and winter months.

A staircase from the dining area gives access to the first floor where there are two double bedroom each with an ensuite bathroom. Both bedrooms are full of character and enjoy views over the garden to the front and offer flexibility in their use. A large landing area provides an added sense of space and also gives access to a storage room which was previously a WC. A further staircase leads to second floor where there is a third double bedroom with spacious ensuite. This room benefits from further built in wardrobes and characterful wooden beams.

Externally, the current owners have created a beautiful garden that has been split into multiple areas to enjoy throughout the day. A level lawn has been meticulously maintained with a gravel pathway surround whilst well established foliage adds a splash of colour and character with added privacy from neighbouring properties.  A good size shed provides ample workshop / storage space.

Despite its tranquil and sought-after setting, the property is situated within easy reach of a wide range of local amenities, including shops, schools, parks, and transport links, making it ideal for both families and professionals.
