Yew Tree

Yew Tree is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 17th century, with additions made in 1706. The building is timber framed, with some sections featuring brick nogging and plastered infill, all resting on a stone base. It has a Welsh slate roof and includes one central and one gable brick chimney. Originally, the layout consisted of a two-room baffle entry with an added crosswing. The structure is two stories high and has a three-bay front. The right two bays were built at different times and have small timber frames measuring 14 by 3. The windows are two and three-light casements, with one located in a raking half dormer. There is a door at the left end of the building. The added parlour wing projects forward under a gable and features slightly larger panelling and brick nogging, with two-light 20th-century casements that include glazing bars. Inside, the provisional list mentions a turned baluster close string staircase and stopped, bevelled ceiling beams, one of which is cambered. The room on the left has a dado of fielded panelling and an ornamental iron hob-grate. There is also a good inglenook with bevelled stone jambs inscribed with the initials IMD and the year 1706.
