Accommodation Details - Ground Floor - Entering through the front door, the property opens into a useful entrance porch, with doors to a cloakroom WC and store room. The ground floor immediately reveals the impressive scale and character of the cottage, with the principal living and dining areas arranged in a largely open-plan configuration. The dining area sits centrally within the ground floor and provides ample space for a substantial dining table and chairs. A staircase rises from this area to the first floor, while exposed brickwork and substantial ceiling timbers reinforce the building’s original character. The dining space flows naturally into the generous 18ft living room, providing an excellent main reception area. Exposed beams continue overhead, complemented by sections of exposed brickwork and a feature brick chimney breast with stove, creating a particularly warm and inviting focal point. Positioned off the dining room is the kitchen, fitted with a generous range of shaker-style wall and base cabinetry with work surfaces over, incorporating a sink, cooking facilities and space for a selection of freestanding appliances. There is also room for a breakfast table, while exposed ceiling timbers, brick detailing and a traditional stone floor continue the character found throughout the property. A door from here opens out onto the front of the property.

First Floor - The staircase rises from the dining area to the first-floor landing, which serves three bedrooms and the bathroom facilities. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, extending to approximately 16'ft at its maximum and featuring a dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed roof timbers. The room enjoys excellent proportions and is complemented by its own en-suite shower room. A second generous double bedroom also displays considerable character, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and ample space for freestanding furniture. The third bedroom provides a versatile additional room suitable as a bedroom, nursery, study or home office. Completing the first floor is a separate shower room, fitted with an enclosed shower, wash basin and WC.

Outside - Yew Cottage forms part of the attractive Wigginton Fields Farm setting and is approached through the shared courtyard, surrounded by traditional brick-built former agricultural buildings. The property benefits from its own private enclosed garden immediately alongside the cottage, with established trees, shrubs and planting creating an appealing outdoor space with room for seating and entertaining. Beyond the farmstead, the development is surrounded by extensive open countryside and farmland, giving the property a distinctly rural outlook and atmosphere.

Seven barns were converted approximately 20 years ago, and the owners subsequently formed a Residents’ Association to manage the communal areas, including the driveways, bin stores and septic tank drainage. A payment plan is in place to cover these shared costs, with the current contribution being £75 per month.

Agents Comments - Yew Cottage stands out for the individuality and atmosphere of its interior, where traditional features have been retained and incorporated into comfortable, well-proportioned living spaces. Character details, exposed brickwork and the proportions of the accommodation all contribute to the property’s warm and individual feel. The generous open-plan reception space, impressive exposed timbers and vaulted bedroom ceilings give the home a distinctive identity, making this an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking something with considerably more personality than a conventional modern property.
