Yeoman's Drove is an impressive and characterful Grade II listed period home. Extended over time from the original cottage, the spacious property now offers over 3600 square feet of accommodation including five double bedrooms, six reception spaces and large social kitchen. All situated in well tended grounds on a quarter acre plot.
The property is steeped in personality and individual character throughout, with the patina of old floorboards, sprawling rooms and generous proportions offering a true country house feel.
The wealth of accommodation makes it a wonderful family home, with many receptions spaces and bedrooms much larger than that of a cottage. The grounds are well tended, featuring an expansive patio for entertaining, wide lawn and magnificent old willow tree. Set against the very attractive backdrop of the double curved-bay windows and veranda.
