Yew Tree Cottage is in a peaceful location of Farnham, ideal for exploring the wealth of activities Dorset has to offer. Situated between Blandford Forum, Ringwood and Salisbury, you are near to the New Forest and the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline. Yew Tree Cottage is a large thatched property with wooden beams throughout. The living room has a wood burner for cosy evenings in and there is a well equipped kitchen. There is a wonderful spiral staircase leading from the dining room upstairs or there are more traditional stairs from the living room. The property has very low ceilings, door frames and beams, and due to the quirky nature of the property, to get from the kitchen/diner to the downstairs bathroom you have to either go outside and enter into the bedroom door or go up and then down some internal stairs, therefore it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. Outside is a spacious garden for you to enjoy.
