Description
Nestled within the desirable village of Lea, Yew Tree House is a charming double-fronted period detached house set amongst generously sized gardens of 0.34 acres that back onto open fields.
This elegant home, spanning 1992 sq.ft, is thoughtfully arranged over two floors and dates back to Victorian times. The ground floor includes an entrance hall leading to a large versatile living room featuring a Jetmaster open fire. A separate sitting room provides additional living space also with a fireplace. The well-fitted kitchen is complete with an Aga and is open plan to a dining room with glazed elevations and doors connecting to the garden. At the side, a former granary has been cleverly integrated into the house, now offering a walk-in pantry, a utility room, and a cloakroom. Above this, a useful room, accessed via a wooden ladder, offers potential as a hobby room, office, or additional storage.
Ascending to the first floor from the main hall, there are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom positioned at the front of the property. To the rear, a principal bedroom enjoys a bright double aspect and fitted wardrobe. The first floor is further complemented by a main bathroom and a separate shower room.
Externally, a gravelled driveway offers ample off-street parking while to the side is an attached double garage which has power connected. The beautiful and meticulously maintained gardens are a true highlight, extending to an impressive 230ft. These westerly gardens provide a high degree of privacy, featuring expansive lawns, mature trees and shrubs, and exceptionally well-planted beds and borders. A charming yew hedge thoughtfully divides the garden midway, leading to an orchard-style area with beds, fruit trees, and further lawns. A gate at the foot of the garden provides direct access to charming countryside walks, leading to Malmesbury High Street in under two miles.
