Step Inside Yew Tree House

April 25, 2025

Tucked just moments from Easingwold’s bustling Market Place, Yew Tree House is an elegant Victorian town house with a rich sense of character and a remarkably generous footprint. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is a home that has been both cherished and enhanced, offering over 2,500 sq ft of versatile living space arranged around original period features, thoughtfully designed interiors, and one of the most idyllic rear gardens we’ve seen in town.

A Grand Welcome

As I step into the 25’8″ reception hall, the quality of the home is immediately apparent. Karndean flooring underfoot sets a timeless tone, while the eye is drawn upwards to a magnificent staircase that adds drama to the entrance. To the left, a formal sitting room invites you in with a beautiful period open fireplace and a walk-in bay window that fills the space with natural light. It’s the kind of room that instantly makes you feel at home.

A Kitchen Made for Living

At the rear of the home lies the heart of the house – a remarkable 26’10” dining kitchen designed by Scammell Interiors of York. It’s a space that manages to feel both impressive and inviting, with extensive granite worktops, an abundance of storage, and a commanding 9’0″ central island that doubles as a dining bar. The layout is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living, with integrated appliances including a touch-control five-ring induction hob, double oven and grill, dishwasher and full-height fridge.

Four period-style radiators and continued Karndean flooring bring warmth and character, while the built-in dresser and rear garden views add further charm to the dining area.

Versatility at Every Turn

The ground floor continues with a snug featuring original floor-to-ceiling built-in storage, a rear hall with cloakroom and WC, a utility room, and a separate study. But the real surprise comes at the far end of the house: a spectacular 22’0″ long living room, flooded with light and brimming with possibilities. Whether you need a family lounge, a games room, or a future annexe, the flexibility here is outstanding.

Elegant First Floor Living

Upstairs, the split-level landing is a feature in itself, complete with an original arched window that overlooks the rear garden. The principal bedroom enjoys garden views and includes a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room.

Two further double bedrooms provide ample space for guests or family, each with their own sense of individuality. A spacious house bathroom offers both a bath and a separate walk-in shower, complemented by a separate WC for added convenience.

A gas-fired central heating system keeps the home comfortable throughout, and the mix of single-glazed sash and replacement double-glazed windows reflects the careful balance between preservation and practicality.

An Idyllic Garden Retreat

One of the standout features of Yew Tree House is its glorious outdoor space. The south-west facing rear garden is part walled and thoughtfully landscaped, with paved seating areas, a neat lawn, and raised flowerbed borders. A dedicated kitchen garden sits to one side, complete with five veg beds and a timber-built greenhouse – perfect for those who love to grow their own.

Beyond the garden, a double garage with power, lighting and a remote-controlled door offers secure off-street parking, accessed via New Inn Lane. This seamless flow between house, garden, and garage makes daily life feel effortlessly connected.

Town Centre Living with a Leafy Feel

Yew Tree House delivers the best of both worlds – period charm, contemporary comfort, and a truly enviable location just steps from the heart of Easingwold. With independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and excellent transport links all on your doorstep, it’s a home that puts lifestyle front and centre.
