Yew House
Guide price £1,725,000
The Property
The first impression of this magnificent, detached house, constructed in the ‘arts and crafts’ design in 1931, is the approach down a central gated private driveway.
Entry is through the impressive original front door into a superb reception hall displaying the grand staircase with beautiful wood panelling, typical of the architectural style. Doors radiate off into the two front principal receptions rooms, with a further door leading to the accommodation found at the rear of the property. The Drawing Room enjoys a dual aspect with an attractive bay window to the side aspect and a centrally positioned stone fireplace with open fire. The other principal room is dominated by a spectacular stone fireplace with open fire. The dining room, another wellproportioned room with a dual aspect, has two sets of doors, one opening out onto the side courtyard garden and the other into the ‘L shaped’ hub of the home made up of the all-important kitchen/breakfast/family room. The utility sits beyond with a larder cupboard and rear door. There is also a cloakroom.
Off the expansive landing lies all the bedrooms, the family bathroom and one of the ensuites with twin access. The main bedroom with dual aspect benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite. Two further bedrooms enjoy a dual aspect, both with an ensuite shower room. Also located on this floor are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
General Information: There is a communal annual charge of circa £125 p a (2022), to the Private Road Management Ltd. This covers maintenance of the road, trees, gates, and stone pillars.
Outside
Mainly surrounded by Cotswold stone walls, the enclosed, landscaped, mature level grounds are of the same calibre as the house. Either side of the ornate yew tree lined drive sits two lawned areas both bordered with established trees, shrubs and wide flower beds. To one side the tennis court is located with a woodland area beyond, and a pretty paved patio area offers a great vantage point when watching a match. At the rear there are two areas of lawn divided by a mature hedge. One side lies a small orchard with the majority of the garden made up of a level lawn with further seating areas on the other side. The single garage and attached storerooms are all useful storage. There is hardstanding parking for several vehicles.
