An unmistakable 18th‑century farmhouse, Yew Tree Farm sits privately on an elevated 4.66‑acre plot of lawns, mature trees and paddocks. Thoughtful recent restoration has created over 3,700 sq ft of comfortable living space while retaining period features: ironstone and mellow brick elevations, multiple fireplaces and high-quality joinery. The ground floor flows around four principal reception rooms including a large open-plan kitchen/garden room with a log burner—ideal for family life and entertaining.
The first floor provides five double bedrooms and three well-appointed bathrooms, served by two staircases that reflect the house’s original layout. Practical outbuildings include a detached double garage and generous parking accessed from a sweeping driveway; a second entrance off Main Street offers an alternative approach but may need formal changes or consents if altered. Broadband speeds are fast and there is no flooding risk, but the location is rural and services and amenities are limited locally.
This home will suit a family seeking space, privacy and period character, with room for further enhancement or bespoke adaptation. It is not listed, so buyers have flexibility to adapt interiors, though any substantial external or land-use changes on this large plot should be checked with planning. Note local secondary schooling nearby is rated as ‘requires improvement’ and the property sits in a remoter hamlet setting—an excellent rural retreat but not for those needing frequent urban conveniences.
