About this property

A substantial and highly individual Grade II Listed former farmhouse, rich in history and character, with an extensive range of outbuildings and exciting potential, set within generous wrap-around gardens in the picturesque village of Willoughby Waterleys.

Yew Tree Farm is a property that offers far more than simply a house. Steeped in history, with original elements dating back to the 18th century, the property combines the charm and individuality of a traditional farmhouse with an exceptional amount of space, both inside and out. It is the sort of home that lends itself naturally to a more relaxed rural way of life, with room for family, entertaining, hobbies, business use and, subject to the necessary consents, further development.
