Description
Yew Tree Cottage is a charming stone cottage, which sits slightly elevated in its plot of about 1.5 acres. Positioned to take in the wonderful views towards Nether Wood and Lodge Hill, the house offers the ultimate lifestyle within the golden triangle of Shropshire. The current owners have lived there for over 50 years and have enjoyed the most idyllic times, watching the bird life and the local deer who sometimes appear in the paddock.
The front door opens into a glazed porch and boot room with a further door leading into the cosy sitting room. There is a brick and stone inglenook fireplace, with a supporting beam and the original bread oven to the side. Within the fireplace is a wood burning stove. There is a door leading into a downstairs bathroom with a bath and shower over, which was updated in 2012. A further door provides access into a utility and pantry.
The kitchen is situated off the sitting room, which has an inglenook and a further original bread oven. There is a Rangemaster with LPG gas hob and oven, fitted base units and a sink. A door leads through to the dining room, which offers in plenty of natural light with double aspect and a door leading outside to the patio and gardens. This is the perfect place to sit and birdwatch.
Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms, all with wonderful views looking out towards the surrounding countryside.
Outside.
Approached via a gated driveway, which gently rises to the front of the house, the gardens at Yew Tree Cottage wrap around the property with post and rail fencing to separate the paddock to the side and rear. There is a stone outbuilding, which was updated in 2020 into a summer house and bar. To the back of the house is a wooden summer house with decking to the front and a solar panel which feeds the electric. A further stone outbuilding offers a log store and a garden store and there are two water taps within the grounds.
There is a patio and seating area to the side of the house, overlooking part of the paddock. The paddock has a gated access from the back garden, but also on the lane below. There is a garage at the bottom of the drive along with two storage containers, which blend in well to the garden and grounds. Mature trees and fencing denote the boundaries.
