Description
Yew Tree House is an immaculately presented house situated in the pretty and sought after village of Longworth.

The house has excellent proportions throughout with good ceiling heights, sash windows and a light and bright aspect.

Of particular note is the fantastic kitchen/family/dining room which has a beautifully fitted central Bulthaup kitchen with the sitting area to the right and the stunning frameless glass conservatory ahead. The conservatory has direct access out to a wide terrace and onto the gardens beyond. Arranged off the kitchen is a large utility room and cloakroom. To the left of the entrance hall is the sitting room which has a large sash window and limestone fireplace. To the right of the entrance hall is the drawing room which is double aspect with views onto the garden to one side and the courtyard to the other.
