Yew Tree Cottage embodies quintessential charm and tranquillity. This idyllic property offers a blend of traditional allure and modern comforts alongside a feel of space and freedom that can be hard to find.

Nestled amidst the picturesque countryside of Combs, set back from the country lane and approached via a long private driveway. The versatile outbuildings are suitable for office space, workshops, garden equipment or stabling. The cottage itself sits within approximately 3.64 acres and just exudes timeless elegance with its thatched roof providing the rustic charm reminiscent of a bygone era. The present owners have considered a low carbon emissions approach to the running of the home which features a large array of solar PV panels, air source heat pump and brand new heating system, EV charging point and modern upgrades ensure that the property has all you need for 21st century living.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Suffolk, Yew Tree Cottage enjoys excellent connectivity, with rail and road links at nearby Stowmarket placing London and Cambridge within easy reach, while the historic towns of Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich lie equidistant for wider amenities. The surrounding countryside is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering endless walking and cycling routes, while local market towns provide a rich array of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.

Yew Tree Cottage is a residence of rare distinction – effortlessly blending traditional charm with modern refinement. Whether sought as a peaceful family home, a countryside retreat, or a stylish weekend escape, it offers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and character. A truly enchanting home, ready to become your own slice of Suffolk paradise.

Yew Tree Cottage - Upon entering the cottage, guests are welcomed into a warm and inviting interior adorned with exposed wooden beams, stone accents, and an abundance of natural light streaming through the windows. The cosy living room beckons with its inviting inglenook fireplace and striking red log burner, offering the perfect setting for relaxation and intimate gatherings. The adjacent space offers itself to a range of uses such as a private dining area, play/ games area, home office or snug.

The bespoke solid wood farmhouse style kitchen is the heart of the home and has a modern and yet cottage aesthetic that really does show the quality of the craftsmanship of the cabinet makers that have created such a warm and welcoming and yet practical kitchen. The well-appointed kitchen benefits from an array of modern living upgrades such as the island with integrated convection oven and integral bin, to the range oven. There is the addition of a useful utility room to housing further appliances and storage space. To the first floor the property boasts four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom exudes understated luxury with its charming sloping ceilings and characterful beams while the remaining bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The family bathroom is of a generous size and offers a contemporary three piece suite with uninterrupted views across the grounds and surrounding Suffolk countryside.

However, the enchanting allure of this country home extends beyond its characterful interior with expansive grounds offering verdant lawns and mature trees. The focal point of the property is the impressive entertaining area with a large decked area and outdoor kitchen alongside the heated swimming pool and pool house inclusive of a newly fitted shower room. The grounds continue with an orchard and two stables with the use of a sizeable paddock. The energy to heat the pool with a heat pump is via the solar panels set to the border of the paddock. We understand from the owner that these provide energy to both the house and pool, and in addition generates an income of around £2,000 per annum. In addition there are 5+ years of RHI payments remaining of approximately £460 per quarter for the main air source heat pump to the house.
