Description
Enter through the front door and into a welcoming entrance hallway, your perfect launch pad for exploring the rest of the home. At the heart of the property lies the magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, the ultimate family pit stop. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, this sociable space features an extensive range of cabinetry, complementary granite worktops, a classic Belfast sink and an array of integrated appliances. The dual oven ensures dinner service runs smoothly, while the wine fridge keeps refreshments perfectly chilled and ready for the next lap. The family and dining areas provide ample space for gathering, with a cosy log burner adding warmth on cooler evenings. Triple-aspect windows flood the room with natural light, while French doors open directly onto the garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Neighbouring the kitchen is a practical utility room, continuing the same high-quality finish with matching cabinetry, granite worktops and a Belfast sink. With access to both the garden and the garage, it's perfectly positioned to keep household operations running smoothly. To the front of the home sits a formal dining room, complete with attractive parquet flooring and a large window that fills the room with natural light, ideal for everything from family meals to special occasions. The generous living room provides another comfortable place to unwind. Featuring further parquet flooring, a second log burner and French doors opening onto the rear garden, it's the perfect place to shift down a gear and relax after a busy day. Completing the ground floor are useful built-in storage solutions and a convenient cloakroom, ensuring practicality remains firmly a priority.
The substantial triple garage offers exceptional vehicle storage, complete with three electric doors for easy access from the driveway. There's also EV charging already installed, making it as future-proof as it is practical. A further door provides direct access to the garden. Above the garage sits a versatile workshop with power and lighting already connected. Whether you're dreaming of a home office, gym, creative studio or hobby room, this flexible space is ready to adapt to your lifestyle.
Head upstairs to discover four double bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms. The landing welcomes you with plush carpeting underfoot and an overhead skylight that fills the space with natural light. The principal bedroom is a true luxury suite. Offering generous proportions, soft carpeting and a dedicated dressing area with built-in wardrobes, this peaceful retreat also benefits from a skylight above, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The contemporary en-suite features a walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, all complemented by stylish grey tiling and elegant white shutter blinds. Bedrooms two and three are both spacious doubles, each benefiting from built-in wardrobe storage and plenty of room to personalise. The fourth bedroom currently operates as a home office and hobby room, featuring wood-effect flooring and additional built-in storage. However, with its generous proportions, it could easily return to service as a comfortable double bedroom whenever required. The family bathroom provides a luxurious space to recharge, complete with a freestanding bathtub, corner shower, WC, heated towel radiator and a wash basin set within a vanity unit. White shutter blinds and solid oak flooring complete the elegant finish.
Outside, the wrap-around gardens offer an abundance of lawn for children, pets and keen gardeners alike. To the rear, a spacious patio provides room for multiple seating areas, making it ideal for summer entertaining and al fresco dining. An array of established plants, trees and shrubs create a wonderful backdrop, while a beautiful wisteria-covered pergola forms a charming feature at the side of the home, the perfect spot to park yourself with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. To the front, the gated driveway provides ample off-road parking and a sense of privacy and security. The triple garage ensure vehicle storage is never a concern, along with a carport to the side with further EV charging.
Situated in the desirable village of Maer, Yew Tree House enjoys the best of both worlds. Residents benefit from peaceful village living and a strong sense of community, while remaining just a short drive from the extensive amenities, shops, restaurants and highly regarded schools found in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Eccleshall.
