Description
Yew Tree Cottage is a former farmhouse, now a house, dated 1687 with 20th-century alterations and a brick range at the rear. The building features brick-nogged timber framing set on a stone plinth and is topped with a green slate roof. There are two brick gable stacks. The cottage is 1½ stories tall with a three-bay front, measuring 8 by 3 timber small frames, and has angle bracing at the wall plate. The door at the left end has a date inscription above it. The central bay contains a 5-light wood-mullioned window with rectangular leaded glazing, located in a barge-boarded gabled half dormer, which has coving above the window and decorative small panelling in the gable. To the right is a 20th-century replica of a similar 5-light window. The left gable features a roof truss with a tiebeam and collar. Inside, the cottage has two rooms. There are remains of an oak baffle behind the door, and the main room has weakly ovolo-moulded ceiling beams, while the other room has chamfered beams. A four-board door with a wooden handle and latch is also present.
