Yew Tree Cottage is an outstanding example of a late 17th Century artisan thatched property. Featuring latch doors, beams, an inglenook fireplace and exposed stonework, this charming home offers elegant, light living space arranged over two floors. With oak flooring to all of the ground floor, the spacious, beamed sitting room offers dual aspect views with a window seat and an inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove.

The separate dining room features painted wooden beams and in-built storage created in a former fireplace. The light-filled country style kitchen has beamed ceilings and an exposed brickwork hearth housing a range oven with Shaker-style cabinets, oak worktops, a twin ceramic butler sink and a peninsular breakfast bar. A cloakroom completes the ground floor facilities.

The first floor is accessed via a staircase from the sitting room which leads to the light and spacious landing. The spacious principal bedroom has dual aspect views with deep window sills and exposed timbers, and there are two further light and equally proportioned bedrooms. There is a family bathroom with both bath and shower facilities and an additional shower room on the first floor.

Outside

The charming south west-facing gardens behind the property are laid mainly to lawn with a delightful area of sheltered, paved terracing, ideal for al fresco dining and relaxing. There are a variety of shrubs, well-stocked border flowerbeds and an impressive flowering cherry tree. The property fronts onto the pretty Wylye Road, while an entrance a little further along the road leads to a driveway at the rear. Here lies the detached double garage which has a loft space to its first floor and off street parking in front of it.
