Description

Yew Tree Cottage, a Grade II listed property, offers a rare opportunity for buyers interested in historical homes with considerable renovation potential. Set within expansive gardens that boast stunning rural vistas, this residence combines charm with the possibility for modern enhancements. The interior features generous living spaces filled with natural light, beginning in the inviting hallway with its classic parquet flooring. The sitting room showcases picturesque garden views and includes a cozy fireplace, ideal for winter gatherings. The dining room benefits from French doors that lead to a paved terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is functional but ripe for modernization, providing ample space for a dining table and equipped with essential appliances including a gas hob and double oven, along with convenient pantry storage. Upstairs, the four bedrooms each offer unique garden views; notably, the principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room while two additional bedrooms share a family bathroom. Outside, the gardens are expansive and private, perfect for enjoying the tranquil rural atmosphere. The delightful thatched summer house adds character to your outdoor space. Notably, the property's outbuildings present significant potential: currently serving as a garage, utility room, workshop, and office space, these could easily be reconfigured into an annexe (subject to planning permission). This property is well-positioned despite its secluded feel; it offers easy access to local amenities and transport routes linking to Poole/Bournemouth and Dorchester. With updates in mind - both internally and externally - Yew Tree Cottage presents an exciting canvas for those looking to invest in a unique estate.
