High Street, Ketton, Stamford

Welcome to Yewtrees – a spacious and beautifully presented home that has been meticulously refurbished throughout. This wonderful Grade II listed village home is brimming with period features typical of the Georgian era, including excellent ceiling heights, deep skirting boards, and panelled internal doors. Exposed timbers and polished wooden floors provide a stunning backdrop to the Inglenook fireplaces and wood burning stoves culminating in a stylish, modern country interior.

The property occupies a delightful plot, set back from the High Street behind a stone wall and a deep lawn garden. The driveway to the side provides ample parking and leads to a large stone garage, which offers a variety of potential uses.

To the rear, a west-facing tiered garden offers complete privacy, with a stone terrace running the length of the property. Stone steps lead up to a beautiful lawn garden complete with a charming potting shed.

The gardens are walled on all sides, featuring pretty herbaceous borders and a variety of fruit trees.
