Yew Tree Cottage is a traditional stone detached home set on about 1.16 acres in the Golden Valley, offering far-reaching rural views and direct access to nearby footpaths and bridleways. The cottage retains period character and benefits from UPVC double glazing, oil-fired central heating and solar panels that help reduce running costs. Grounds include a formal garden, greenhouse, summerhouse, pond, orchard area and a large workshop with separate vehicular access.
Internally the house provides an entrance hall, cloakroom, utility, kitchen/dining room, living room, three bedrooms and a bathroom across a spacious footprint (approximately 2,404 sq ft). The outbuildings and large garage/workshop offer practical space for hobbies or storage; the workshop was previously used for woodworking. Parking is off-street for at least two vehicles with gated access from a quiet no-through road.
Important considerations: drainage is to a private septic tank, the main heating is oil-fired, broadband speeds are very slow and the property is an older stone build (pre-1900) with assumed uninsulated stone walls. There is a footpath running through the lower garden and any rights of way should be confirmed by a purchaser's solicitor. The garage and workshop are of concrete block and corrugated iron construction and may need repair or improvement.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking rural living, space for outbuildings and established gardens, or those prepared to carry out sympathetic refurbishment to improve energy performance and connectivity. Proximity to Peterchurch (about 1.5 miles) and highly regarded local schools, including Fairfield High School (Outstanding), add practical appeal for families wanting countryside living within reach of local amenities.
