Grade II listed 16th century detached house offering versatile accommodation, a secluded garden and a double garage.
A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional character property, Old Yew Tree Cottage is believed to date from the late 16th century. The earliest part of the building has been dendrodated to 1551, confirming its status as one of the oldest surviving properties in Wrecclesham.
The cottage has been comprehensively and sympathetically restored, extended and upgraded by the Farnham Building Preservation Trust, resulting in a unique and beautifully balanced home. Great care has been taken to preserve the historic fabric and integrity of the building, while sensitively incorporating modern comforts and practical living space appropriate for contemporary family life.
Throughout the property there is an abundance of retained period features, including exposed timber beams, oak and tiled flooring, exposed brickwork and open fireplaces, all of which combine to create a warm, atmospheric and highly characterful interior.
The house benefits from two separate entrances. The main entrance opens directly into the central hall, providing access to the principal reception rooms. A more recently created side entrance leads into a practical boot room, with an adjoining cloakroom with shower and a utility room, offering excellent day to day functionality. The ground floor is both generous and flexible, comprising four reception rooms alongside a fitted kitchen.
On the first floor, the accommodation includes three bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en suite bathroom, together with a family bathroom. A fourth bedroom is located on the second floor, offering additional privacy and versatility.
Externally, the property enjoys a rear garden laid predominantly to lawn, bordered by mature trees and hedging, creating a private and attractive setting.
Further benefits include a double garage and off street parking.
