Yew Tree Cottage is a beautifully presented, Grade II listed three-bedroom detached cottage set in approximately a quarter-acre of mature gardens. Dating back to the 17th century and sympathetically restored, the house blends character features — inglenook and Victorian fireplaces, exposed beams and flagstone floors — with a modern Neptune kitchen, useful conservatory and a re-fitted ground-floor shower room. A useful attic is currently used as a home office and could provide additional guest space.
The plot is a major selling point: level, well-stocked borders, multiple secluded seating areas, feature pond and a mature yew. Off-street parking for two cars and a single garage with power and light add convenience, while a summerhouse offers a separate garden studio or office. The cottage was re-thatched in 2017 and re-wired in 2023.
Important practical notes: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and may be costly. The walls are solid brick with no built-in insulation (assumed), the main heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is above average. Mains drainage connection is scheduled (19 May 2025), which should address the current drainage arrangement.
This home suits buyers seeking a period cottage in a sought-after village setting — families who value character and garden space, or buyers wanting a comfortable countryside base within easy reach of Devizes, Bath and mainline connections. Budget for listed-building considerations, potential wall insulation solutions, and the ongoing cost and servicing of oil heating when assessing the purchase.
