Yeabridge House Originally built around 1770 and then substantially enlarged in about 1840, Yeabridge House is a handsome property, built of local Ham stone under a Welsh slate roof with attractive wide eaves. It has two fine porches; one on the south-western façade over the front door and the other on the south-eastern façade. It is Grade II listed and has retained many of its graceful and original features including wide sash windows, working shutters, fireplaces and some very impressive flagstone floors in the earlier part of the house. Over the past 3½ years an extensive sympathetic restoration and refurbishment programme has been undertaken including renewal of the electrical and plumbing systems, installation of new bathrooms and fitting wood- burning stoves in the drawing and sitting rooms. On the ground floor, there is the impressive reception hall with an elegant staircase rising to a galleried landing and two large principal reception rooms, both with attractive fireplaces and cornicing. Towards the rear of the house is the kitchen/ breakfast room, which has a very large original dresser and an electric programmable 4-oven AGA (cream), with the adjacent scullery and cloakroom.
