The principal reception areas are particularly impressive highlighting the architectural detailing. The drawing room opens through to the sitting room and enjoys a triple aspect, half panelled walls, as well as a wonderful fireplace with Jacobean timber surround with pillars, Dutch tiles and a polished brass canopy, with French doors opening out to the rear garden, whilst the dining room has a deep brick inglenook with brick ‘beehive’ canopy and bressumer over. The kitchen has a double aspect with doors opening to the rear gardens and is fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry with a matching island unit and larder cupboard, whilst appliances include a gas fired Aga. There are five bedrooms are laid out over the first floor, which can be accessed via two staircases, one of which has Jacobean style balustrading. Generous in proportion, all bedrooms enjoy a fine aspect over the gardens or the acreage and are supported by two bathrooms, one with a separate shower cabinet.

2 Situation Yew Tree Farm is situated to the south of the village of Godstone with its picturesque village green and pond, local shops and a selection of inns and restaurants. There is a wealth of surrounding countryside, including nearby Godstone Farm which features a children’s play barn. Caterham and Oxted are both situated within a few miles of the property offering more extensive shopping, supermarkets, cinema and a swimming complex. The M25 and M23 are easily accessible, providing easy access to Gatwick and Heathrow airports, as well as the Channel Tunnel. Local schools include primary schools at Blindley Heath and South Godstone, Oxted County, and a number of popular private schools including Lingfield College, Woldingham, Caterham and Reigate Grammar.

Gardens and Grounds The house is approached through a pair of stone pillars to a parking and turning area in front of the house, cottage and barn with the drive continuing on to service the land. The lovely gardens are a wonderful feature of the property providing privacy and seclusion as well as a marvellous frame for the countryside beyond. To the front is an area of formal lawn with well-tended lawns and herbaceous borders, roses rambling over the front of the house and a fine magnolia tree, as well as a tennis court. To the rear is a terrace, providing an excellent spot for taking in the views and watching the wildlife around the pond. Part walled, again the garden is laid out to provide colour and year round interest.

3 There are a number of fields and paddocks, all clearly defined by hedging or fencing, which are peppered with mature trees and there are several ponds. Included in the sale are those closest to the property which amount to approximately 29.09 acres (11.77 hectares). However in total the land extends to approximately a further 56.5 acres, which is available by separate negotiation. A magnificent, detached, Listed barn dates probably from the seventeenth century and is reputedly the largest single barn still surviving in Surrey. The oak framing is majestic with lofty ceilings and two mezzanine areas. There is an adjacent workshop and elsewhere a car port and various stables/field shelters within the additional land. The Cottage is an attractive character building, which is full of character and at present provides two reception areas, a large first floor bedroom, ground floor shower room and a kitchen but has the potential to be re-arranged to provide more bedroom space. It also has a private area of garden.
