Summary - YEW TREE FARM BRIGHTWALTON NEWBURY RG20 7BG
6 bed 5 bath Detached
Secluded six-bedroom rural estate with versatile outbuildings and woodland.
Grade II listed thatched farmhouse with historic features preserved
Set deep on the Berkshire Downs, Yew Tree Farm is a rare Grade II listed thatched farmhouse with a tastefully converted three-bedroom barn and huge private grounds of 6.45 acres. The main cottage retains period character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a country kitchen with Aga — and includes a principal ground-floor bedroom with en suite, useful for multigenerational living or guests. The adjacent barn, with vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers, provides flexible accommodation, home-working space, or separate annexe potential.
The estate includes substantial outbuildings: a summer house, large multipurpose building with wine cellar, garage, studio, kitchen and covered storage, plus ornamental and wildlife ponds, mature woodland and open lawns. Vehicular access is via electric double gates to a circular gravel drive. Services include mains water and electricity, oil central heating and a private sewage treatment plant.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and likely complicate any refurbishment or extension. Parts of the cottage have low ceilings and smaller rooms, and the property’s historic nature will demand ongoing maintenance and conservation-sensitive work. Council tax is above average (Band E for the farmhouse, Band D for the barn).
This is a strong choice for buyers seeking seclusion, character and versatile living space on a large plot — families wanting separate annex space or buyers wanting a countryside retreat with scope for careful improvement and preservation.
