Positioned within a quiet corner of the ever-popular Middle Barton, Yew Tree Cottage is an attractive detached four-bedroom character home, approaching 2,000 sq ft of versatile living space, with a generous gated driveway and garden.
The welcoming entrance opens into a separate hallway with ample room for coats and shoes, creating a practical buffer between the outdoors and the main living areas. Beyond, a superb open-plan double reception room forms the heart of the home. One side is arranged as a substantial sitting room, bathed in natural light from triple windows to the side aspect and centred around a working woodburner — an inviting space for relaxing evenings. The adjoining section, previously used as a spacious dining room, sits conveniently next to the kitchen, making it ideal for entertaining.
The kitchen is particularly generous in size, featuring doors and windows that open out onto the garden and allow light to pour in throughout the day. A large moveable island currently provides additional workspace and casual dining potential, enhancing the room’s sociable feel.
A further reception room offers excellent adaptability and could serve as a study, playroom, or music room depending on your needs. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own shower room, while a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Outside, the home is approached via a large gated driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, a generous garden offers plenty of space for outdoor dining, play, or simply enjoying the peaceful village setting.
