Yew Tree Cottage, a distinctive Grade II listed thatched home, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. With origins dating back roughly 400 years, this detached residence sits on a spacious three-quarters of an acre plot, providing abundant space to explore various development options. The property has recently undergone a complete re-thatching, ensuring lasting integrity and visual appeal. Accessed via a gated entrance, the extensive gravel driveway accommodates ample parking and leads to an impressive detached outbuilding equipped with three garages and generous workshop space. Previously serving as an engineering workspace, this outbuilding is fitted with three-phase electricity and presents outstanding potential for business operations or conversion into additional living space, subject to requisite planning permissions.
Inside, the cottage boasts over 2,100 sq. ft. of character-filled accommodation across two levels. Original features such as exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces complement practical room sizes. Recent enhancements include leaded light double glazed windows in certain areas for improved energy efficiency. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall with a vaulted ceiling, a spacious sitting room with garden views around the charming inglenook fireplace, and an inviting dining area also equipped with its own inglenook fireplace.
The first floor comprises four generously sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with a five-piece suite. The versatile layout allows for potential adaptations; for instance, the study could easily serve as an additional bedroom if needed.
Outdoors, the south-facing gardens are richly landscaped with mature trees and established shrubs providing serene outdoor space ideal for leisure or further development opportunities like constructing a bungalow (subject to necessary consents). Yew Tree Cottage harmoniously combines historical charm with modern convenience while being conveniently located near Bletchley’s amenities and transport links.
