Summary
Yew Tree Farm is an attractive Grade II listed detached farmhouse with parts dating from the 17th century. The property was sympathetically renovated by the previous owners along with the addition of the impressive detached self contained annexe/cottage. The main house offers beautiful, spacious accommodation, full of original character with many period features catalogued by the Somerset Vernacular Group including chamfered beamed ceilings, flagstone floors and two sets of stone winding stairs now not in use. The annexe brings a more modern contemporary feel with large bright open plan living. The annexe would offer perfect accommodation for family or guests but would also make a luxury holiday or short term let. The property is set in land approaching 2 acres with formal gardens along with two pony paddocks. There is a Dutch barn, stone outbuilding/stable and carport. The stone outbuilding may be suitable for conversion to an additional annexe/cottage subject to the usual permissions.
