Description
The property is accessed through double 5-bar gates to a large gravel courtyard and parking area.
The property was rescued by the current owners who have added a garden room from the kitchen and a large sitting room. The property was fully re-thatched in 2014.
The property benefits from lots of natural light, good ceiling heights throughout, large reception rooms, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The heart of the house is the large kitchen/breakfast room with its oak framed garden room leading to the secluded rear garden.
The house and plot would support further extension and ancillary accommodation/outbuildings subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
There is a large double carport with storage above. One of the stand-out features of the property is its beautiful garden and grounds. Features include a variety of productive and ornamental trees, shrubs, herbaceous boarders, a productive vegetable garden, brick and flint walled terraces and a greenhouse.
Whilst very much a family home, Yew Tree Cottage would serve well as both a full time residence as well as a weekend home.
Nearby, Vernham Dean has a pub, a primary
school, a kindergarten, an active village hall, playing fields and a church.
The surrounding countryside is well served by footpaths, bridleways and quiet lanes, ideal for walking, riding and cycling enthusiasts.
Schools in the area include Farleigh, Cheam, Godolphin, Daunstey's, Down House and Marlborough College.Vernham Dean 1 mile
