The Property - Yew Tree Cottage offers well-proportioned and characterful accommodation with a traditional country feel throughout. The ground floor features a spacious kitchen/breakfast room. Just off the kitchen is a useful study area, a separate store room, and a ground floor bathroom.
The layout flows naturally through to a formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, which in turn leads into a welcoming living room. This charming space enjoys a brick-built fireplace housing a log burner, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere, particularly in the colder months. On top of this, the property is double glazed throughout with thermostatically controlled radiators in each room.
Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double room with ample space for furniture. The second bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed, while the third is a single room, ideal as a child’s bedroom or home office.
While the property would benefit from some updating, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home full of potential, set in a wonderful rural location.
Outside - The property is set within approximately 0.5 acres of mature and beautifully maintained grounds, offering an exceptional outdoor lifestyle in a peaceful, semi-rural setting. The extensive wraparound gardens include sweeping lawned areas, a productive vegetable plot, and a mature orchard with a variety of established fruit trees—ideal for those with an interest in gardening or self-sufficiency.
A delightful walled patio area provides a charming and sheltered entertaining space, centred around a striking water feature that adds both character and tranquillity to the garden. This space is perfect for al fresco dining, relaxing with friends and family, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The property also benefits from a range of useful outbuildings, including a large detached garage with electric supply, former stables now utilised as storage, and a unique, 16 ton Western railway goods truck from 1910, offering further storage or potential for creative use. Hedges surrounded the garden, providing a wonderful sense of seclusion.
