Description

The Grade II listed Yewden Manor, dating back to the 16th century, is now divided into four homes, with number 3 retaining much of the original manor's charm.

Spanning three floors and 4,800 sq ft, it offers six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and features many original details, including wood panelling, open fireplaces, and high ceilings, creating a bright, airy atmosphere.

The spacious drawing room boasts high ceilings, wood floors, painted panelled walls, a marble-surround fireplace, and a bay window with garden access. The dining room, with stone flooring and a brick fireplace, opens to a study area and leads down to a large kitchen/breakfast room featuring a central island, double ovens, and built-in appliances. A separate dual-aspect family room is also on the ground floor.

The first floor includes the principal bedroom with a bay window and en suite bathroom, a guest bedroom with an en suite shower, two additional bedrooms, and a shower room. Two more bedrooms are located on the second floor, interconnecting via separate stairs.

Outside, a shared gravel drive leads to a landscaped parking area, with an arched gateway opening to a charming courtyard. A west-facing terrace accessed from the drawing room overlooks the grounds, which are primarily lawn with mature trees and shrubs, along with a secluded Yew Tree walk for added privacy. A detached double garage is situated at the rear.
