Description
Yew Tree Farmhouse and the attached Shippon are a 17th-century farmhouse that has been altered. The farmhouse features brown brick walls laid in English garden wall bond and has a plain projecting band at the first-floor level. It has replacement windows set in old openings beneath deep sandstone label-mould lintels. A projecting crow-stepped gabled porch with plain sandstone copings leads to the entrance, which has a deep sandstone label-mould lintel over the outer doorway and a replacement hardwood door. Inside, there is a 17th-century inner front door made of three vertical oak boards with decorated wrought iron hinges and prison nails. The main roof is gabled and covered with grey Welsh slate.
The attached Shippon is a late Georgian structure that is two stories high and L-shaped. It has brown brick walls in English garden wall bond, with squared rubble local sandstone patches. The grey Welsh slate roof is continuous with that of the farmhouse. Original doorways feature segmental brick arch heads, located in the left corner and right wing, with vertically boarded softwood doors that have sandstone hinge and lock blocks. There are rectangular pitch-holes for the hayloft, which also have segmental brick arched heads and recessed boarded softwood doors. Most ground floor windows and door openings have been altered, but they remain in keeping with the overall design.
