Living Room – Snug – Dining Room – Kitchen – Cloakroom – Downstairs WC – Master Bedroom with Ensuite – 4 Double Bedrooms – Family Shower Room – Separate WC – Summer House – Entertaining Deck – Shed – Gardens Incongruously named a cottage this is a substantial house, retaining the archetypal exposed beams, terracotta tiles and features that characterise a black and white cottage. While being extended to create a spacious family home with room to pursue a multitude of both work and pleasure pursuits.
Yew Tree’s elevated position basking on a south-facing hillside provides spectacular views across acres of apple orchards to the far-distant hills. A monthly parish magazine keeps neighbours informed of the many local activities and social gatherings. The house is well-connected, lying only 6 miles from Hereford and 20 miles from Worcester.
The PropertyEntering from the wide Hallway with its large Cloakroom, through stain-glass panel doors lies a very spacious Living Room. A light and modern room with twin windows and a feature Wood-burner.
The Snug offers a more informal family area, with a multi-fuel stove nestled in an exposed stone fireplace with original beam lintel and also enjoys lovely country views.
The Dining Room retains its highly decorative, tile flooring and also features a Wood-burner tucked into a stone fireplace.
A wide Hallway leads on into the Kitchen; a large, wide room with twin double French patio doors that open directly out into the gardens. Fully-fitted, the Kitchen features a gas, 6-burner Rangemaster cooker, Belfast sink, integrated under-counter 2 fridges, a freezer, dishwasher and behind the wooden, rustic-style, door panels are space for both a washer and dryer. Completed with terracotta floor tiles that harmonise with the original section of the house.
Off the Kitchen is a Storm porch with external door to the garden and a Downstairs WC.
The Master Bedroom enjoys dual aspect windows giving stunning views across the valley or over the rear gardens. A spacious room with twin built-in double wardrobes, it benefits from an additional seating area, ideal as a reading nook.
The large Ensuite offers a roll-top Jacuzzi bath, a spacious rain-head shower cubicle with sand stone tiled feature wall, WC and His and Her basins and a heated towel rail.
All the bedrooms retain a delicate touch of the exposed old beams that work to harmonise the newer sections with the older heart of the house. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have high ceilings with a high display shelf and deep recesses provide window seats from which to admire the views.
Bedroom 4 enjoys lovely views from twin windows and has a wall of shelving. Bedroom 5 is also light and airy with twin windows, that look across the private rear garden.
The Family Shower Room is fully tiled with a large shower cubicle, basin set in a vanity unit and heated towel rail. It also houses a large Airing Cupboard.
There is a Separate WC with basin. The Hallway contains a storage closet that holds the Worcester combi-boiler. Widening at the far end, the hall has an External door leading directly out onto the rear patio.
Outside
A South-facing garden with extensive lawn offers wonderful entertaining and dining opportunities either in the Summer House or out on the expansive Deck or nestled by the stone-built Fire-pit, all the while basking in the stunning scenery. On more practical notes there are raised vegetable beds, and a large insulated Shed. While the decorative, metalwork gates secure an ample turning and parking area.
