The garden has a private and tranquil feel with a terrace at the rear and a fantastic studio with ensuite shower and cloakroom - a great space to work from or indulge your hobbies in a stunning setting.

Yewtree cottage:

An enchanting property, beautifully restored by the current owners and believed to be over 400 years old. This residence combines period charm with contemporary elegance, creating a one-of-a-kind ambiance. The ground floor welcomes you with a charming enclosed entrance hall, featuring a practical bench seat and ample storage underneath. The sitting room is a true highlight, boasting a stunning inglenook fireplace, elegant limestone floors, and exposed beams. Behind the inglenook, there is a spacious hidden walk-in storage cupboard. There is also a charming sliding door connecting to Greenman Cottage.

At the rear of the property, the dining area has matching limestone floors and a beautiful exposed brick and flint wall, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Beams and glazed French doors open to the pretty garden, enhancing the sense of space and light. The adjacent kitchen showcases a delightful shaker-style design with wooden worktops, limestone floors, a breakfast bar, and side access to the garden. The wooden shelving, crafted by a former owner—a skilled carpenter—adds a touch of history and craftsmanship. 

A wide, straight staircase leads to the second floor, where the principal bedroom impresses with its generous size of 16'5" x 14', vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and lovely views over the front gardens. The second bedroom is also a double room overlooking the beautiful rear garden. The bathroom features a modern white suite, stylish tiling, and a window also overlooking the garden, blending contemporary finishes with the cottage's historic character. 

The property is set within stunning, mature gardens at both the front and rear. The front features a parking area with room to park 2/3 cars and a charming garden with an ancient Yew tree, whimsically shaped like a duck as a tribute to the former neighboring pub, the Dog and Duck! Side access leads to a quintessential cottage garden at the rear, bursting with color and featuring a terrace, lawn, and well-stocked borders for year-round enjoyment. At the garden's end, a tranquil pond and an excellent studio with power, heating and light offer the perfect space for hobbies, work, or relaxation.
