The Property
Yew Trees is a well-constructed, detached house, in sizeable gardens within the private and quiet Midhurst enclave, Closewalks Wood.

Built in the prevailing style of a Sussex Farmhouse with tile hung upper elevations and under a clay tiled roof, Yew Trees has an interesting internal layout with formal and informal living spaces and a recently updated kitchen and bathrooms. The sitting room has a woodburning stove and the benefit of a vaulted ceiling and extends to a mezzanine floor currently in use as a study. The property has a light/bright atmosphere and is very well equipped with a fantastic kitchen, adjacent utility room and lots of internal storage space.

It is one of several houses built over 40 years ago by a reputable local builder. Yew Trees is exceptional in that it was built over two plots of land and thus has a pleasant space around it.

Yew Trees has the benefit of planning consent (SDNP/12/02102 /HOUS) to build a ground floor bedroom together with en suite on the north side, together with porch extensions to both the south and east entrances, conversion of the existing external garage to a self contained annex. Also included on the planning application is the approval for a two bay cart barn alongside the annexe. Ask Agent for further details.

Gardens and Grounds
Tucked away at the end of a no-through residential private road, Yew Trees sits in a perfectly quiet and private position and is well situated within its own plot. A gravelled drive runs down to a parking area with a turning circle and parking for several cars as well as a brick built single garage with power and water. The flagstone terrace wraps around most of the property, ensuring a perfect spot to catch the sun throughout the day and with a large area for outside dining and entertaining in the summer months. There is a large, flat lawn surrounded by mature flower beds and a range of mature trees and hedges for interest and privacy. There is a Victorian style green house with brick plinth as well as a fruit cage and a number of fruit trees. To the back is a small area of woodland with a range of specimen trees.

The Location
Closewalks Wood is situated on the rural fringes of Midhurst and is within a short walk into the town via a private pedestrian gate from Closewalks Wood to South Pond. It is an exclusive development of 12 individual, detached properties. The town of Midhurst provides for most everyday needs, whilst Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities. The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports, whilst the mainline station at Haslemere provides a fast service to London Waterloo.

Midhurst and the surrounding area have much to offer with Polo at Cowdray Park, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Goodwood, Pulborough and Liphook, motor racing at the Goodwood circuit and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast. There are many footpaths and bridleways in the area for walking and riding.
