House For Sale £725,000
Unexpectedly Reavailable - Peter Joy estate agents are delighted to offer this very special property to the market. Yew Tree House is a handsome attached Grade II listed property in a superb location in the ever popular village of Woodchester. The property is believed to date from 1700, with alterations and additions in the early and mid 18th Century, and is built predominantly from Cotswold Stone. It was formerly a public house, and retains typical features and the cellar store of this period. This is the first time this much loved family home has been on the market in over 45 years, and it offers prospective buyers a rare opportunity to acquire and update a welcoming, characterful residence with over 3400 sq. Ft. Of living space.
One walks into a welcoming reception hall with a central, principal staircase in front of you and cloakroom/W.c beyond. The hall opens into a grand dining room, with an impressive fireplace and secondary staircase to the side. A 25’ sitting room is to the east of this, at the front of the house, and this boasts a fireplace with wood burning stove, windows to the front and side and French doors that open onto the front garden. A welcoming kitchen with Aga is in the middle of the house, and is very much the heart of the home, with a 19’ snug with fireplace behind this, at the back of the property, and a useful 15’ utility/boot room beyond.
The first floor hosts five bedrooms, including one room with a connecting split level room, two bathrooms and a further room that you pass through to reach the two bedrooms at the rear of the property. This could suit as a study. Two spiral staircases lead up to two attic spaces, and these original areas could be converted to offer further accommodation if so needed, subject to relevant consent. There is a huge amount of accommodation on offer, and prospective buyers could use the property in a number of ways. It could suit a large family, multi-generational living or buyers looking for extra space to work from home.
The interior is complemented by parking, a garage, good gardens and an attractive courtyard. Steps lead up from the lane to a pretty front garden. There is a great view here over the Woodchester valley. On the left hand side of the property there is a driveway with space for 2-3 vehicles (depending on size). The neighbouring property has a pedestrian access over the lower part of this driveway via a gate opening in the boundary wall. The garage is on the other side of the house, with an attic space above with potential to become a useable space (subject to consent) and a store room behind. We are informed by the owners that this store space is occupied by bats. A pretty courtyard is beyond this, with a door to the kitchen, with the majority of the garden to the rear. This is accessed from either the drive, a door from the boot room or through a gated entrance from the north of the house, past the neighbouring attached cottage. Steps lead up from the back of the house through sloping planted borders to a level lawn. This is edged with mature trees and shrubs, with a further area of wild garden behind this and a useful brick built garden store. There is a further useful brick built store room at the rear of the property next to a patio area.
The popular village of Woodchester enjoys the benefits of a local post office/store, two pubs and a well regarded primary school. It is perfectly set for exploring the gorgeous local countryside, with many beautiful walks from the doorsteps and easy access to the old railway cycle track that connects Nailsworth, Stroud, canal and beyond. The shops and amenities of both Stroud and Nailsworth are within easy reach, with straightforward access to the beautiful commons of Selsley, Minchinhampton and Rodborough. Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are close by and railway stations at Stroud (2 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington. There are a range of local schools including Stroud Grammar Schools, Beaudesert Park School and Wycliffe College.
