The Yew Tree, Ashbourne

19th July 2010

A wonderful yew tree in the front garden not only provides an instant clue to the name of a superb four-bedroom village property in the Dove Valley, but also an indication of the natural beauty surrounding it.

The Yew Tree is located in the conservation area of Mayfield, on the border of Staffordshire and Derbyshire and within the Peak District National Park. The village is on the banks of the River Dove and just 2½ miles from the popular market town of Ashbourne.

“A nice village setting” is the description of the John German estate agency, which has The Yew Tree on the market for a price guide of £425,000. The agent also makes full mention of the long distance views, notably from the rear and the good-sized, well laid out accommodation “ideal for modern living.” It includes double glazing, central heating and connectivity for Sky television and computers.

The spaciousness is seen immediately on the ground floor, where the features include a brick fireplace and exposed beams in the sitting room, which has a useful under stairs cupboard. Laminate wood effect flooring leads into the study.

The family room has an attractive walk-in bay window, another window to the side, a feature gas fire and a wide opening to the dining room which provides access to the rear patio and garden. The adjacent kitchen features an extensive range of units and work surfaces, besides a free-standing cooker range having a gas hob with eight burners, two electric ovens with a grill and a matching extractor hood.

There is a utility area with further units and space for a washing machine and tumble drier, while the cloakroom includes a shower cubicle, hand basin and WC.

The sleeping accommodation is located on the first floor, with the master bedroom having an en suite shower room. One of the others includes two built-in wardrobes and there is also a family bathroom.

The pleasant gardens border farmland and there is off road space to park four or five cars, besides a useful brick and stone shed.

Further details of the Yew Tree can be obtained from John German’s Ashbourne office on 01335 340730.
