The Property A period stone and Collyweston unlisted 19th century cottage, Yew Tree Cottage is back-to-back to its neighbour, so semi-detached despite its appearance, which also provides mutual privacy for one another for each cottage. A well-presented two bedroomed cottage, Yew Tree Cottage’s accommodation includes a number of symmetrical and full-width rooms, many of which are dual-aspect, with French doors from the sitting room to the property’s fabulous garden. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and retains a wealth of period character, contrasting with refitted bathrooms and a well-appointed kitchen. The property has a tandem driveway, whilst the gardens are large and private wrapping around the house to three sides and extending to the south of the property. Accommodation A pathway leads from the driveway to the front door which opens to the reception dining hallway, a spacious reception area with staircase to the first floor and a cloakroom/WC off. The hallway is flanked by the sitting room and the kitchen. The sitting room is a spacious dual-aspect room with solid wood flooring and an attractive cast iron fireplace. The room incorporates a study area alongside French doors which open to the garden’s terrace. The ceramic tiled dual-aspect kitchen is fitted with a range of cream shaker-style wall and base units with hardwood-effect work surfaces, a twin ceramic sink and an integrated oven and hob, with space for a dishwasher and washing machine. A stable door provides access to the front of the property, close to the driveway. At first floor, the landing corridor accesses bedrooms one and two, each of which is a dual-aspect double with exposed stonework, whilst the well-appointed family bathroom lies between the bedrooms. The solid wood floored bathroom suite includes a centrally positioned claw-footed slipper bath, as well as a separate shower cubicle, and has exposed stonework walls.

Outside The garden wraps around the house to three sides. The front garden is accessed from the driveway, or by a centrally positioned pedestrian gate from the pavement, with gravelled paths leading from both to the front door. The gardens are largely lawned with mature trees, including the Yew from which the cottage derives its name, which ensure a high degree of privacy, whilst the long rear garden borders to farmland. A raised terrace adjoins the cottage to the rear (south), accessed from the sitting room.
