Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Peterborough, PE6 :

Yew Tree Cottage is a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage that combines historic character and charm with a stylish contemporary design that was featured in 25 Beautiful Homes Magazine. Believed to date back to the 1640's, the period property sits on the edge of the quiet village of Northborough. With a recent thatch alongside the traditional local stone, the pretty façade looks out over a lawned front garden with a mature Yew Tree, all of which contribute towards the property boasting an archetypal English country cottage appeal. Inside the lovely interior has in recent years been entirely refurbished and re designed to create a spacious and inviting light-filled home. Retaining its character, many of the rooms offer solid oak beams, exposed stonework and original features. Having had a substantial extension in 2000, the house benefits from large reception spaces within converted barns whilst keeping the cosy and warm character of the original cottage. Upstairs, bespoke Oak wood work runs throughout, with a décor that enhances the impressive period features. Whereas outside, the cottage is surrounded on all sides by a mix of sheltered patios, walled gardens and the family's 'Fairy Wood' meaning the space flawlessly accommodates young families as well as serving as an excellent area for entertaining. The triple garage offers parking for two cars with electronic gates, as well as a generous workshop with loft access. With its enviable character and generous living space, Yew Tree Cottage is a charming residence that offers flexible family accommodation in a quiet country village.
