Dating from the 16th century, Grade II-listed Yew Trees, in Kingsbury Episcopi, began life as a medieval hall, before being substantially altered in both the 17th and 19th centuries. Yew Trees is listed with Humberts for £800,000.
The property’s most recent renovation occurred from 2003, but those who got very excited by baking during lockdown will be enticed by the fully functioning 19th-century bread oven.
As well as the oven, the four-bedroom property boasts various other period features, such as handsome fireplaces, window seats, exposed beams and spacious family rooms.
The gardens are south facing, level and mostly laid to lawn, and new owners can expect to see lashings of colour in the spring as the roses that adorn the property spring to life.
