Yew Tree House – A Charming Country Home with Exceptional Space and Potential

Set in a wonderfully private and mature plot of over an acre, Yew Tree House is a well-designed and much-loved family home, being sold for the first time since it was built by the current owners. Tucked away in a semi-rural lane, the property provides generous and flexible accommodation, beautiful gardens, a swimming pool, and an extensive range of outbuildings, offering excellent potential for further development (subject to planning permission).

The home is accessed via a covered porch leading into a spacious entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to all principal reception rooms. A charming 20ft sitting room with a feature open fireplace enjoys views across the gardens and leads through to a conservatory—an ideal spot to take in the outlook over the pool. The dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen, featuring a serving hatch and a window to the front, while the kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of storage units and has space for a dining table.

A second sitting room at the far end of the house enjoys direct garden access via patio doors and benefits from a secondary staircase leading to a first-floor study. There are two separate cloakrooms, a sizeable utility room, and a fully fitted ground-floor study with built-in storage.

Upstairs, there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, all offering fitted wardrobes and views across the beautifully maintained gardens. The principal bedroom features a spacious en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. A versatile hobby room/study completes the first-floor accommodation, providing an excellent space for home working or creative pursuits.

The grounds of Yew Tree House are a true highlight, offering privacy, space, and a wonderful setting for both relaxation and entertaining. A large lawned front garden is enclosed by mature yew hedging, while to the rear, there is a vegetable garden, a utility area, and further lawns backing onto woodland. A heated outdoor swimming pool, enclosed for safety, benefits from a dedicated pool house with changing facilities and an oil-fired pool boiler.

A sweeping driveway provides ample parking, leading to a collection of outbuildings, including two double garages, a music room above, workshops, stables, and additional storage rooms. These buildings have electricity, water, and Wi-Fi, offering excellent potential for conversion into office space, guest accommodation, or additional living quarters (subject to planning).

Situated in the sought-after village of Hare Hatch, just north-west of Twyford, Yew Tree House enjoys a prime location with easy access to the charming riverside village of Wargrave. Wargrave itself is a picturesque community on the banks of the River Thames, just three miles from Henley-on-Thames and within easy reach of Twyford’s mainline station, providing direct trains to London Paddington in approximately 30 minutes.

Blakes Lane is a peaceful and highly regarded setting, offering the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and convenience. The nearby M4 motorway (Junctions 8/9 and 10) provides excellent road connections, while the surrounding countryside, the River Thames, and the thriving towns of Henley, Marlow, and Maidenhead offer a wealth of leisure, dining, and shopping opportunities.

Distances (approx.):

Henley-on-Thames – 4 miles
