Introduction - Nestled comfortably into the sought after Herefordshire countryside is Yew Tree Cottage. A detached three bedroom home offering attractive, country style accommodation of: entrance porch and hallway, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, large utility, porch/boot room, three bedrooms and impressive bathroom. Further benefits include: ample off road parking opportunity, good sized outbuilding with garage and stabling and lovely secure garden with mature planting, greenhouse and potting shed.

Property Description - Entry begins into a brick and timber frame porch with undisturbed views of rolling hills and greenery across its front aspect. A stable door leads into an inner hallway with impressive flagstone flooring and stairs leading to the first floor. The hallway gives central access to a kitchen/dining room, sitting room, large utility room and second porch/boot room.
The sitting room is full of charm and 'country cottage' character with exposed stone walling, ingle-nook fireplace with wood-burner inset, bread oven, stone sill and exposed lintel/ceiling beams.
The kitchen/dining room has been attractively styled with shaker style base units, cup handles, oak work top, bespoke plate rack and matching shelving. The honey toned colouring of the work top complements well with the floor boards and matching skirting. Extra delights include an Esse range, tall pantry cupboard and deep oak window sill matching the oak framed windows that echo throughout this property.
The cloakroom has WC and hand-basin and is accessed from the utility room.
The utility room is a very generous size and almost acts as a second kitchen with sink, oven, a generous array of wall and floor units for storage purposes, housing for a washing machine, ample room for the housing of coats and hats and room for additional kitchen appliances such as fridge/freezer. The traditional quarry tiled flooring is a lovely feature, coupled with a stable door that leads into a porch/boot room where the boiler is housed.
The porch is an ideal location for disposing of any muddy footwear created by keen gardeners or those enjoying a long country walk from the doorstep. There is also room for the possible storage of kindling for the stove/dog beds if desired.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, airing cupboard and a family bathroom. The landing frames the most fantastic of countryside views showcasing the rural positioning of this lovely home. Bedroom one is a double with front, side and rear aspect and is nicely carved into the eaves of the building. Oak framing complements the oak framed windows and sills and there is room for a selection of bedroom furniture. Bedroom two is also a double with a pigeon pair of oak framed windows that look out onto a variety of mature trees, colourful shrubs and grassland fields. The exposed timber framing is a delight in this room and there is room for an arrangement of bedroom furniture for storage purposes. Bedroom three houses the chimney breast and showcases some exposed stone walling, stone sills and super views from both front and rear windows.
The family bathroom is a masterpiece in the design and styling of a country cottage bathroom. It benefits from having a shower cubicle with rainfall head and separate head attachment, WC, hand-basin with vanity cupboard and oak top, chrome heated towel rail and an elegant, contemporary styled slipper bath with central chrome mixer tap.

Garden, Garaging & Parking - The frontage to Yew Tree Cottage is of stone construction with oak framed windows and porches of brick and timber frame. To the rear is an extension of part timber frame and stone, again with oak framed windows. This quintessential 'country cottage' sits in an unspoilt countryside setting and oozes charm and character aplenty.
To the side of the property is a large off road parking area that leads to an outbuilding of block and slate construction. Double doors open into a garage area with power and lighting and eave storage. To the other end is a stable currently used for storage but could be used to house a small pony or other small livestock. A line of fencing has been put up across the driveway to secure the garden area for those with pets and children. The garden has been generously planted with mature shrubs/trees and cottage style planting over the years providing colour and interest. The main area has been laid to lawn which again is ideal for those occupants with children/pets. The far end of the garden is an area of patio for times of alfresco dining and there is also a greenhouse, potting shed and chicken coop for those who like to grow their own/have their own livestock.
