Features and description
- Well presented stone cottage
- Delightful garden
- Quiet village location
- Lovely outlook
Reputedly dating from late 1700’s, Yew Tree Cottage is an attractive stone built cottage under a pantiled roof standing in a quiet position backing onto open fields. In recent years the cottage has undergone complete refurbishment; in 2011 the cottage was re-wired and re-plumbed with a direct pressure system and a new timber framed garage/car port erected. In 2013 the property was extended, enlarging the kitchen and creating a new utility room with a new principal bedroom and en-suite bathroom above. In addition the garden room was built. The accommodation is now light and bright and is sensibly configured; there is a woodburner in the sitting room and an open fireplace in one of the first floor bedrooms.
The property is approached off South Street through a five-bar timber gate onto a gravel car parking and turning area adjoining which is the timber framed car port and garage. The garden lies primarily to the south and west of the cottage. A path leads under an arched pergola to a greenhouse with raised flower beds and to the garden room. The other side the garden is laid to lawn with a variety of well stocked flower and shrub borders and trees including rowan, pear, fig and an amelanchier with a terraced area immediately to the west of the sitting room. There is an attractive garden to the front of the property with a variety of well stocked flower and shrub borders including hellibores and roses. The garden is beautifully tended and provides a delightful backdrop to the cottage.
Services: Mains water, electricity and drainage. Oil fired central heating. Solar Panels (to heat hot water)

Yew Tree Cottage is situated in the south western edge of the village of Kington Magna which has a church and a village hall. There is a pub at nearby Buckhorn Weston while Gillingham has facilities for most everyday needs, including a Waitrose store, leisure centre, doctor and dentist surgeries, a library, schools and a mainline railway station with services to London Waterloo. London is also accessible by road via the A303 which links with the M3. For more sophisticated requirements there is the cathedral city of Salisbury to the east, the Georgian Spa town of Bath to the north and the Saxon hill-top town of Shaftesbury to the south west.
