Find Out A Little More... - Yew House, completed in June 2026, forms one of ten homes within an exclusive hamlet. It sits on an east-west axis with privacy from neighbouring properties and beautifully landscaped gardens on both sides. The landscaping has been designed to work with the orientation of the house, maximising natural light and creating welcoming spaces to sit, relax and enjoy the changing outlook throughout the day.

The house is characterised by high ceilings, elegant room proportions and carefully detailed architectural features. Traditional-style fireplaces, multi-paned floor-to-ceiling picture windows, deep skirting boards, handsome architraves and an authentically ‘period’ staircase with timber panelling, turned spindles and a polished mahogany handrail with volute and bullnose step reflect the attention to detail throughout. Extensive bespoke cabinetry on both floors provides consistency of design and craftsmanship across the home.

The property is powered by green energy and combines strong environmental performance with ease of everyday operation. Well-planned utility spaces, underfloor heating, strategically positioned power points and recessed lighting throughout demonstrate a practical and considered approach to modern living along with an understairs walk-in cupboard and separate cloakroom.

The kitchen/dining/living room is dual aspect, with a leafy outlook on both sides and French doors opening onto the gardens. The 32 ft room provides generous space for dining and has a relaxed seating area centred around an app-controlled real-flame linear electric fire. The handmade fitted kitchen features a larder cupboard, freestanding island and a full complement of luxury appliances, including a Range cooker with induction hob flanked by recessed alcoves - one example of the attention to detail that runs throughout the house. The twin sink is positioned beneath the window overlooking the olive tree standing centrally in the courtyard.

Adjacent is a large utility room with a sink, provision for an overflow drinks fridge and wall-to-wall cabinetry providing boot room and cloak storage, while housing the solar and hot water systems.

The superb sitting room features a Dunsley wood-burning stove set within a Portuguese limestone fire surround, with wide floor-to-ceiling sash windows providing views west across the garden.

A large window brings natural light into the generous first floor landing area with a reading corner giving far-reaching views towards the broad-leafed tree canopy.

The principal bedroom suite includes a generous dressing room with elegant wall-to-wall cabinetry and a bathroom featuring a walk-in wet room shower with rainfall fitting, a roll-top bath with freestanding shower and a twin-sink vanity unit set within a single quartz worktop.

Two further double bedrooms suites complete the first-floor accommodation. All three en suite bathrooms are designed in a muted palette with luxury fittings, tiled finishes and demisting mirrors with integrated LED lighting.

An attic is accessed via a hatch with a drop-down ladder.

Outside - The tarmacadam drive sweeps through Swinton Grange before arriving at the gravelled driveway, bordered by estate fencing and mature Portuguese Laurel hedging. A brick-built garage with pitched slate roof and decorative finial has an electric roller shutter door, water supply, power and lighting.

To the front of the house, a French limestone paved patio faces west across a curved lawn bordered by flowering climbers and year-round structural planting, including clipped and topiarised shrubs. To the rear, the courtyard garden is entirely private, enclosed by high brick and stone walls that create a sheltered microclimate, with sunlight reflected from the mellow stone and gravel surfaces. Clipped yew hedging encircles a mature olive tree, while a paved area takes advantage of the morning sun. The air source heat pump is discreetly concealed behind mature hedging, and a secure garden gate provides practical access through a side ginnel for gardeners, contractors and refuse collection.
