Generous open-plan lounge/dining room plus conservatory
Large gated driveway; garage with power, lighting and hot/cold taps
Spacious country-style kitchen, pantry and ground-floor cloakroom
Oil-fired central heating — higher running and servicing costs likely

Yew Tree Cottage is a spacious, characterful detached home set on approximately a third of an acre in sought-after Bournheath. Formerly a nailer’s cottage and extended over time, the house combines original period features — inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and parquet flooring — with large family rooms, a conservatory and a generous country-style kitchen. The mature, wrap-around gardens, fruit orchard and vegetable plot will appeal to gardeners and families seeking private outdoor space.
Practical features include a gated gravel driveway for multiple cars, a substantial garage with power and water points, plus a useful pantry, utility and ground-floor cloakroom. The property has majority double glazing and oil-fired central heating; buyers should note heating runs on oil and servicing and running costs may be higher than mains gas alternatives. Some windows and fittings reflect the home’s age and extensions and may benefit from updating.
This house suits buyers who value period charm, flexible family living and an extensive private plot within easy reach of Bromsgrove commuting routes. It offers strong room proportions across nearly 2,000 sq ft and scope to personalise or modernise specific elements. The mature gardens are a major asset but will require ongoing maintenance to retain their sculptured appearance.
Important practical points: council tax is described as expensive; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on heating systems, window condition and any works needed before purchase. Flood risk is low and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong for the area.
