About this property

  • HOUSE
    Yew Tree Cottage is a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage, believed to date from the late 17th century with later 18th century alterations. The house has considerable character, with light timber framing, painted brick infill and a thatched roof. The back door opens into a small utility room, with a generous downstairs shower room alongside, fitted with an enclosed shower, wash basin and WC. The sitting room has an open fireplace with exposed timbers beams and a further door leading to the front hallway. The kitchen has a tiled floor and a range of floor mounted cupboards with quartz worktops. A large Rangemaster cooker with gas hobs is set within the inglenook fireplace, alongside the original bread oven. There is also a walk in pantry. From the front door, a staircase leads up to the principal bedroom on the first floor. This is a generous room with triple aspect views over the garden. The second staircase, rising from the kitchen, leads to bedroom two. This is also a well proportioned room, with dual aspect views to the front and rear of the house, and an en suite WC with wash basin.

    ANNEXE
    The annexe is separate from the main house and provides flexible additional accommodation. It is entered via a hallway with good storage, from which there is access to a well appointed kitchen with a range of floor and wall mounted cupboards, an electric oven and gas hob. The kitchen opens through to the living room, with a guest WC and wash basin alongside. There is also a dining room, where stairs rise to a bedroom with an en suite shower room.

    OUTSIDE
    Yew Tree Cottage sits within attractive, established gardens that provide a charming setting for the house. It is approached from Salisbury Road, where a gravelled parking area sits within the grounds. The garden is largely laid to lawn and interspersed with a variety of native trees and shrubs. An ornamental pond, edged by decking, creates a natural focal point within the grounds. There is also a timber framed garage and carport, with a self contained studio above, including an en suite shower room. There are also a set of useful garden outbuildings with electricity.
