A charming period detached residence with an annexe and beautiful gardens. Garage/Coach House with planning permission. Desirable village location.

Yew Cottage is a beautifully presented detached cottage, set on a good size plot in an idyllic setting within this popular village. We believe the property originally dates back to circa. 1870 and retains many period features including; working shutters, exposed wooden floors and picture rails. The current owner has sympathetically updated Yew Cottage during the last 4 years and the property has the benefit of a one bedroom annexe, along with a garage/coach house which has planning permission for conversion (planning number 3/32/00015).

The spacious and flexible accommodation is arranged over 2 floors and briefly comprises; an entrance door opens into a recently added porch which further opens into a welcoming hallway with staircase rising to the first floor and doors opening into the living room and dining room. The living room is a lovely reception room with a wood burning stove and overlooks the attractive gardens to the front. The dining room is a well-proportioned room and provides a perfect space for entertaining and is nicely positioned with access into the kitchen and conservatory, along with a doorway opening into an inner lobby. The hardwood and glazed conservatory has French doors opening out onto a courtyard area and overlooks the rear and side of the property and adjoining open fields. The kitchen is well-fitted with a good range of units and a working Aga. Leading from the kitchen is the inner lobby with excellent pantry/store, useful utility and WC and access into a ground floor bedroom and shower room which works well as an annexe for a dependent relative.

On the first floor there are three further bedrooms; two with ensuite shower rooms and bedroom 1 also has the benefit of a dressing area/walk-in wardrobe.

Outside, the gardens are a particular feature of the property and the plot extends to approx. 0.4 acres. Beautifully landscaped with lawn to the front and side and interspersed with an abundance of mature shrubs, flower borders and trees with herbaceous borders surrounding the property. There is an enclosed courtyard area to the rear which provides a perfect space for alfresco dining and summer entertaining, along with an extensive patio directly in front of the annexe bedroom. A useful garden shed provides storage.

In addition, the large garage/coach house currently has planning permission for conversion into a detached one bedroom annexe. A driveway provides parking for several vehicles.
