Description
Farmhouse
Yew Tree Farmhouse is a most attractive and prominent Country Residence with brick and white weather boarded elevations under a Kent peg tiled roof. We understand that the property is not listed and that part of it dates back to 1850, when it was part of the Bedgebury Estate. The living room and the master bedroom above are a recent addition, built in harmony with the original house.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors with three reception rooms and a substantial kitchen/breakfast room and utility room on the ground floor and six bedrooms, two bathrooms on the first floor. Many of the fine period details have been retained, such as exposed beams and timbers and magnificent inglenook fireplaces. The property also benefits from an oil fired central heating system.
Equestrian Complex
High security gate leads onto beautifully kept and maintained yard. To the right there is a purpose made newly built manure heap. Turning to the left approaches the three bays of stabling. In the top bay there are seven loose boxes (two foaling boxes) with a rug washing room/medical room. Middle bay on the left hand side is a store room/feed room which is on the right and on the left hand side is a double garage with a pair of traditional doors, power and light. There is an insulated office with electric heater. The middle bay consists of four loose boxes, one being a foaling box together with a tack room with electric heater and meter for riding arena lighting. Purpose built rug room with electric heater. Third bay consists of another four loose boxes, one of which is a foaling box. There is power, light and water connected. 40m x 30m riding arena, which has been professionally constructed (Charles Britton) with tall kicking boards, flood lighting and all weather surface.
The pasture is to the rear of the stable yards and divided into paddocks, being newly fenced by post and rail extending to 20 acres (not measured).
The whole complex offers great scope to the incoming purchaser, from a distinguished home with outstanding equestrian features, to a business connected with horses, such as a livery stable. The property offers direct off road riding access to Bedgebury Forest, thus giving access to 2000 acres of peaceful riding.
Gardens and Grounds
The property is approached via brick piers and a five bar gate onto a large hard standing suitable for heavy equestrian vehicles providing ample parking for residential needs and business purposes. The house is to the left with the garden on three sides. There are paved sitting out areas to the rear of the kitchen and the living room, which are partly enclosed by low brick walls and a herb garden near the rear door. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed by path and flower beds, mature trees and shrubs, plus a pergola covered sitting area, a pergola walk covered by white wisteria, a pond, rose beds and a Wendy house. Tall trees and mature hedging to the front and the south west boundary provide privacy and seclusion.

Newly installed electrics on the yard together with guttering. Loose boxes have been refurbished.
