"As soon as I saw the gardens they blew me away. Found so close to the centre of the village, Yew Tree Cottage is certainly a hidden gem. Even I never knew the gardens were there." - Philip Jarvis, Director.

Yew Tree Cottage, located within two hundred metres of Lenham Square, is a substantial five bedroom detached house. The original part of the house is believed to date back to the early nineteenth century. The cottage sits in a plot of just over half an acre.
This character property has been in the same family for the last forty years and have spent much time and effort in creating a most comfortable home with superb well tended gardens to the rear.
The accommodation is well proportioned but does interestingly offer the potential of an annexe to one end with the fifth bedroom currently downstairs with an ensuite to one end of the cottage. There is an imposing reception hall with a square bay sitting room. The large dining room looks out over the lovely gardens. There is also a 'L' shaped kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, rear lobby and cloakroom. Access to cellar is also off the hall.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms with the master bedroom boasting fitted wardrobes and an ensuite. There is also an additional bathroom and second cloakroom.
The gardens as previously mentioned are extremely well maintained and include a well balanced mix of plants, shrubs and trees. You would not think you are in the centre of the village. There is also a parking area accessed via double wooden gates for several vehicles.
Rarely does a property of such quality become available in such a convenient position. An early viewing comes most recommended.
Lenham is a popular and bustling village offering a wide range of amenities. There are many shops, two pubs, doctors surgery and dentist. There are also two schools in the village along with a railway station. There are good road links with the A20 and easy access to the M20 and M2 Motorways.
