Summary - YEW TREE HOUSE THORNHILL ROAD SOUTH MARSTON SWINDON SN3 4RY
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large Victorian house with garden, garage room and scope for stylish remodelling.
Victorian former farmhouse built in 1875 with abundant period features
Yew Tree House is a substantial Victorian former farmhouse offering generous, characterful accommodation and scope to adapt. Original features — flagstone floors, high ceilings, fireplaces and sash‑style windows — give immediate period charm, while later additions create flexible living space including a former dairy parlor, sunroom and an upstairs garage room.
The house sits on a large, private rear garden with mature borders, pond and gated access to St Julian’s Community Forest — ideal for owners who value outdoor privacy and countryside walks on the doorstep. Ample parking and a powered double garage with a room above add practical space for hobbies, home working or storage.
There is clear potential to create an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining area in the rear extension or to reconfigure the annexe-style rooms into a self-contained suite. The property has been in the same family for over 55 years and provides a strong canvas for renovation and sympathetic modernisation.
Important practical notes: the house is freehold and substantial in size, but carries a high Council Tax (Band G). Double glazing and other upgrades were fitted some years ago; the property’s cavity walls are likely uninsulated and it will benefit from further energy-efficiency improvements. The local area records higher crime levels than average, which prospective buyers should consider.
