Description
Yew Tree Cottage is a wonderfully light-filled home, situated in an elevated position with panoramic views across the Dorset hills. Constructed from soft red brick under a slate roof, this cottage exudes character while offering all the comforts of modern living.
The internal layout is thoughtfully designed, with two reception rooms on the ground floor. The sitting room is a triple-aspect space, making it bright and inviting year-round. French doors open onto a garden terrace, providing an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation while soaking in the countryside views. A wood burner adds a touch of warmth and coziness, perfect for those colder winter months.
The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home, featuring bespoke, hand-painted units in soft olive green, complemented by solid wood worktops. Dual aspect windows offer views over the garden and fields, making this a delightful space to start your day. There’s ample space for a breakfast table, and the kitchen is well-equipped with modern amenities.
Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious double bedrooms. The master bedroom offers stunning views over the Dorset hills, ensuring every morning begins with a beautiful landscape. The second bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and garden views, while the third bedroom features a walk-in cupboard, offering additional storage.
Outside:
The large garden surrounding Yew Tree Cottage is a true highlight. Mainly laid to lawn, it is edged with mature trees and shrubs, offering both beauty and privacy. The garden studio is a versatile space that can be used for home working, hobbies, or as a further bedroom. Additionally, there is a well-equipped workshop with power and light, perfect for DIY projects or storing garden equipment.
Two terraces offer options for outdoor dining and relaxation, with one terrace enjoying the morning sun and the other perfectly positioned for evening gatherings. A hidden strip of land at the far corner of the garden is ideal for composting and wood storage.
Explore the Great Outdoors:
One of the most appealing aspects of Yew Tree Cottage is its proximity to Kingcombe Meadows, a stunning nature reserve managed by the Dorset Wildlife Trust. Just a short walk from your doorstep, you’ll find miles of nature trails, perfect for walking, birdwatching, and exploring the local flora and fauna. The reserve also features peaceful fishing lakes, offering a relaxing spot to unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings. Whether you’re a keen angler or simply love being close to nature, this location provides endless opportunities for outdoor enjoyment.
