Description
Yew Tree Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1720, with later alterations and additions. It is constructed of hammer-dressed watershot stone, which is now painted, and features a graduated stone slate roof. The house originally had a 2-unit, 2-storey layout, but later bays were added to each end, resulting in a total of 4 bays. Bays 2 and 3 have quoins and include a 20th-century lean-to conservatory that conceals a door with a square-cut surround. The ground floor has 1 and 2-light windows, while the first floor features 4 and 3-light recessed cavetto-moulded mullion windows. There is a ridge chimney stack, and the later bay on the left has a door with a square-cut surround and a lean-to addition against the gable end. The rear of the house retains 4, 4, and 2-light recessed cavetto-moulded mullion windows on the ground floor, three 19th-century windows on the first floor, and has 20th-century door and window openings in bays 1 and 4.
