Upstairs, a spacious landing welcomes you with characterful feature stairs and more mullioned windows, bathing the space in natural light. The master bedroom is nothing short of spectacular, boasting an original fireplace that speaks to the home’s rich heritage. Its mullioned windows provide breathtaking views of the surrounding gardens. Three additional double bedrooms each offer unique charm and generous proportions, perfect for family living or guest accommodation.
The house bathroom remains true to the home’s original character, complete with classic laundry cupboards and an original 1920’s suite, that tell a story of its history. A separate W.C. provides added convenience for busy households.
Outside, a gravelled driveway leads to private parking at the side of the property. From here, access to the rear reveals an extraordinary hidden treasure: an enchanting garden that transports you to another era. Designed in the iconic Arts and Crafts style by renowned photographer and garden designer Alex Keighley in 1920, the grounds retain their original features, including a stone-built dovecote—still home to resident doves—a serene formal pond with koi carp, and an architectural pergola constructed from stone. The garden’s charm and beauty are beyond words, demanding an in-person visit to truly appreciate its magic.
Tucked away in a peaceful enclave at the quiet end of St. Stephens Road, Yew Tree Cottage offers a rare sense of seclusion while remaining within short walking distance of the village centre and railway station. The location is ideally served by a village shop, a convenience store, a well-regarded primary school, and excellent transport links. Both bus and rail services are just minutes away, providing effortless access to the commercial centres of North and West Yorkshire.
For those seeking a home that blends elegance, space, and timeless character with a deeply rooted sense of history, Yew Tree Cottage stands as a singular and exceptional opportunity.
