A charming Grade II Listed cottage and beautiful garden close to both Hungerford and Marlborough

Yew Tree Cottage is a delightful Grade II Listed property which dates from the 17th century. It features a splendid, thatched roof and cobbled stone and red brick elevations, while inside there are attractive character features, combined with elegant modern fittings. In more recent years the house was enlarged, creating a perfect blend of character and modern sophisticated living. The ground floor has three comfortable reception rooms, including the sitting room with its wooden flooring, bay window and fireplace fitted with a logburner. There is also a sunny conservatory overlooking the enchanting garden and a dining room with tiled flooring and a grand inglenook fireplace, also fitted with a logburner. The well-proportioned kitchen has shaker-style units in grey, an aga and integrated appliances, as well as space for a breakfast table for informal dining. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles, including the principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom, which has a separate shower unit. There is also a family bathroom.

Outside

The cottage is set in a lovingly maintained garden providing a delightful green environment including areas of lawn, various shrubs, a wealth of trees and established border hedgerows. There is also a paved seating area and gravel pathways and at the end of the garden, a timber-framed summerhouse. At the front, a five-bar wooden gate opens onto a gravel driveway, providing parking for several vehicles.

Situation

The property is near the small village of Froxfield, between the historic market towns of Marlborough and Hungerford, and in the heart of the stunning North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Hungerford is less than three miles away, and offers a good selection of day-to-day amenities, including local shops, a library and a supermarket, plus several pubs and restaurants. There is an outstanding-rated primary school in nearby Great Bedwyn, while John O’Gaunt School in Hungerford provides for secondary. Hungerford mainline station also offers services to London Paddington in one hour. For any further needs, Marlborough is around seven miles away, while Newbury is within 11 miles, and offers a wealth of shopping and leisure facilities. The property is conveniently placed for access to the M4, which can be joined six miles away, offering easy access to London, or the West Country.

From Newbury, take the A4/Western Avenue towards Hungerford, and continue to follow the A4 for 10.7 miles, through Hungerford and into Froxfield. Turn left, following the sign for Little Bedwyn, and you will find the property on the right, immediately after the turning for Oak Hill.
