6 bedroom house

Here are our TOP TEN reasons to fall in love with Yew Trees:



1. Space to spread out - originally a double fronted farmhouse with an attached barn and shippon, the current owners incorporated the two in the 1980's to create a spacious family home with an approximate gross internal measurement of 3448 sq ft (320.3 sq m) excluding the garage.



2. A property rich in character with oak ceiling beams, lintels, uprights and staircase, flagged floors, panelled window seats, working shutters, fitted oak bench and substantial stone fireplace in the reception hall, plate rack in the kitchen, leaded window in stone mullion to staircase, period fireplaces in two of the bedrooms, a decorative front door and panelled doors with wrought iron door furniture.



3. As it stands - enter into the reception hall, off which is the parlour. There is a breakfast kitchen, utility room, wet room and sitting room with steps leading up to a large family room, converted from the attached shippon; a large, light space with windows to two sides, three large skylight windows and double glazed door leading out to the garden.



4. Sweet dreams - off the split-level landing there are five doubles and a single bedroom. Also to the first floor is a house bathroom, a separate WC and two large stores.



5. So much potential - there is huge scope for refurbishment and alterations to the layout - create a fabulous living dining kitchen overlooking the garden in the family room, link this to create domestic offices with laundry, utility and boot room in the existing kitchen and reconfigure the current first floor layout to create further bathrooms. This really is an excellent opportunity to put your own stamp on a period house.



6. Parking essentials - a six bar gate leads to a private cobbled driveway and single integral garage with up and over door, power and light. There is also parking to the front of the property - plenty of space for visiting family and friends.



7. Delightful, private and established walled gardens - flanked by two large Yew trees, the gated entrance leads into a walled foregarden with parterres and central cobbled path. To the east, there is a flagged courtyard with raised planted beds and access from the kitchen and family room and to the west, an allotment style garden with a wide variety of fruit and vegetables and two greenhouses. To the north, private walled gardens with level lawns, well-stocked borders, seating terraces, a small pond and orchard.



8. Outbuildings - a useful row of outbuildings provide useful storage for garden equipment, wood store etc. and loose boxes.



9. Land - accessed to the side of the house, a paddock, c. 0.88 acres (0.36 hectares) lies to the north of the property; it's perfect for chickens, a pony, a few sheep, camping, dog agility or as a playground for energetic children!



10. Location, location, location - the property is tucked away in a rural village setting. Highly accessible, it's within easy reach of major road and rail networks: to find out more, turn to page 5 for our local guide on the surrounding area.
