Summary - Yew Tree Cottage, 3, Castle Lane, Whitchurch HP22 4JD
Five-bedroom detached house on a very large garden plot
Set on a very large plot in a quiet village lane, this five-bedroom detached cottage offers substantial space and clear scope to create a long-term family home. The house retains mid-20th-century character, generous reception rooms with brick fireplaces, multiple patio doors to the extensive rear garden and an integral garage with driveway parking for three-plus vehicles.
The property requires a full refurbishment throughout: cosmetic and structural updating, insulation improvements (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated), and modernization of services. Heating is provided by an LPG boiler and radiators; LPG cylinders are stored in a shed at the rear. Double glazing was installed post-2002 but the home will benefit from a complete programme of works to meet modern energy and comfort standards.
For families the location is a strong draw — low local crime, excellent mobile signal, attractive grounds and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools within reach. The large, well-established garden with patio, mature trees and a duck pond is a rare asset and suits gardeners and outdoor living. Council Tax Band G means running costs are comparatively high and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home-working until upgraded.
This is a straightforward project for an experienced renovation buyer, growing family seeking long-term potential, or investor prepared to refurbish. The position and plot provide scope to reconfigure internal layouts, add energy-saving measures and significantly increase both comfort and value.
