Tucked away in the charming village of Tendring, surrounded by open countryside, this attractive four-bedroom home offers a wonderful sense of space and versatility, perfectly suited to modern family life. With far-reaching rural views, a private, established garden, and generous off-road parking, the property blends everyday practicality with a peaceful village setting.

Seller's insight Waking up at Yew tree Cottage is a delight, the first thing you see are open fields with lambs and sheep . We are surrounded by nature here with frequent sightings of kites, buzzards, hares and woodpeckers to name but a few. Sitting out on the decking with a glass of wine in the evening you are treated to uninterrupted views over the fields. The garden is well established and we have developed a small vegetable patch which keeps us supplied with vegetables also pears, apples, blackcurrants strawberries and rhubarb.

We have found the Village to be welcoming with events throughout the year. Perhaps the best bit of the day is a stroll up to the award winning pub restaurant -The Bicycle where a warm welcome is guaranteed as well as some fantastic meals and exclusive wine tasting events.

After many happy years it is now time to hand it over to the new owners who I am sure will enjoy the chance to take it that little bit easier and enjoy all that Yew Tree Cottage has to offer.

Step inside Stepping into the hall, the layout immediately feels easy and well considered, with a natural flow between the main living spaces. The living room is a welcoming place to unwind, centred around a charming brick feature fireplace, while the front window frames delightful views across the surrounding countryside.

To the rear, the kitchen flows effortlessly into the adjoining dining room, creating an open and inviting space that forms the heart of the home. The well-connected layout lends itself perfectly to modern family living and entertaining, allowing conversation and activity to flow naturally between the two areas. The kitchen is thoughtfully finished with shaker-style units, quartz work surfaces and a classic tiled splashback, while a charming fireplace adds warmth and character, providing an attractive focal point.

Underfoot, the stylish herringbone flooring ties everything together beautifully. Both the kitchen and dining area look out over the garden, and the countryside beyond.

A separate study adds flexibility, ideal for those working from home, or equally suited as a quiet snug or playroom depending on your needs.

Upstairs, the feeling of space continues with four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged off a central landing. The principal bedroom benefits from its own dressing area, adding a practical and slightly indulgent touch. The remaining bedrooms are all generous sized and versatile.

The first floor is completed by a family bathroom and a separate shower room, making busy mornings that little bit easier.

Step outside Outside, the property truly comes into its own, enjoying an enviable position surrounded by open countryside to both the front and rear. The established rear garden offers a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, providing a peaceful setting in which to relax, entertain, or simply take in the far-reaching rural views. With uninterrupted countryside forming the backdrop and outlook, the setting feels wonderfully tranquil and connected to nature.

To the front, the property continues to benefit from an open aspect across the surrounding countryside, enhancing the sense of space and rural charm. Generous off-road parking further adds to the practicality of everyday living, while the exceptional views in every direction make this a particularly special location.

Location Set within the well-regarded village of Tendring, the property enjoys a relaxed, semi-rural lifestyle with a real sense of community, all while being within easy reach of everyday conveniences. The award-winning pub restaurant, The Bicycle, is also within walking distance, offering a wonderful spot to dine and socialise locally.

Just five minutes drive away, Thorpe-le-Soken and Frinton-on-Sea provide a wide range of shops and supermarkets, including Tesco and Budgen as well as cafés, and coastal activities, while Colchester offers more extensive shopping, restaurants, and mainline rail connections to London Liverpool Street. Manningtree station is also within easy reach, providing direct services to London in approximately 50 minutes, making it ideal for commuters.

Families are well catered for, with schooling options including Tendring Technology College and Clacton County High School, alongside a number of local primary schools. For private education, Holmwood House School in Colchester is highly regarded, while Colchester
Royal Grammar School and Colchester County High School for Girls are among the most sought-after in the area.

With countryside walks on the doorstep, the coast a short drive away, and strong links to larger towns, Tendring offers a balanced and appealing way of life.
