Ledwell

Maxwell Douglas Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale Yew Tree Cottage, a beautifully presented Grade II listed, three bedroom period home commanding a lovely position in the highly sought after hamlet of Ledwell. Dating back to the late 18th century, this charming stone built cottage has been thoughtfully renovated by the current owner, combining a wealth of original character with stylish and individual interiors.

Ledwell is one of the area's most desirable and picturesque hamlets, offering a wonderfully peaceful rural setting whilst remaining within easy reach of Great Tew and the renowned Soho Farmhouse, situated just 2.6 miles away. Properties in this charming location rarely become available, making Yew Tree Cottage a particularly appealing opportunity.

An inviting entrance hall provides access to the impressive 17'4 x 12'7 dining room, a superb entertaining space featuring exposed ceiling beams, window seats and a substantial inglenook fireplace complete with log burner and a traditional bread oven. From here, steps lead down to the delightful 15'1 x 14'2 kitchen/breakfast room, which has been beautifully updated with painted cabinets, timber worktops and a striking electric Aga, creating a wonderfully welcoming heart to the home.

The second bedroom, measuring 14'11 x 9'5, offers excellent proportions, whilst the third bedroom, at 12'11 x 11'6, is another comfortable double. A beautifully appointed family bathroom, featuring a traditional roll-top bath, completes the first-floor accommodation.

Throughout the cottage, exposed beams, stone floors, deep-set windows and carefully chosen decorative finishes complement the property's historic character, giving the interiors a distinctive and welcoming atmosphere.

Outside, Yew Tree Cottage is approached through gates and along a driveway leading to a generous gravelled parking area in front of the house. The attractive stone façade, climbing greenery and traditional entrance porch create a particularly appealing first impression. The gardens are a particularly special feature of the property, offering a wonderful combination of mature planting, privacy and inviting outdoor spaces.

Of particular note is the delightful secret garden, a wonderfully secluded retreat tucked away amongst the established greenery, providing a peaceful and intimate space in which to relax. The garden also benefits from a substantial outdoor seating and entertaining area, a pergola adorned with climbing plants is ideal for summer gatherings, alfresco dining and enjoying the attractive surroundings. Together, these outdoor spaces create an enchanting garden with plenty of opportunities for both entertaining and quiet relaxation, complementing the charm of the cottage itself.
