Yew Tree Cottage, located in the charming village of Hognaston, is a lovely two-bedroom detached cottage that offers a perfect blend of traditional character and charm, with modern comfort.

It's also conveniently close to Carsington Water, offering beautiful countryside walks, and nearby towns like Ashbourne, Wirksworth, Matlock, and Belper. With planning permission granted for off-street parking at the front, Yew Tree Cottage presents an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to downsize, a professional couple, or for those seeking a holiday home or holiday let investment property.
As you enter the sitting room, you'll notice the double-glazed wooden windows on both the front and side, tile flooring, modern electric radiators, and exposed beams that add a touch of character. The fireplace, with its stone lintel and hearth, serves as the focal point of the room, complete with an inset log burner for warmth. A staircase leads to the first floor, and there's also a built-in cupboard that houses the electric circuit board.
Moving into the dining kitchen, the tile flooring continues from the sitting room and the kitchen features wooden preparation surfaces with an inset composite sink, drainer, and mixer tap, surrounded by matching upstands. There's plenty of storage with a range of cupboards and drawers, along with integrated Bosch appliances, including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, and washer dryer. The kitchen also includes a double electric oven with a four-ring electric hob and extractor fan. Wall-mounted cupboards provide additional storage, and uPVC double-glazed French doors lead out to the rear garden, bringing in natural light.
