Yew Tree House

Yew Tree House is a farmhouse, now a house, built around 1800, with extensions added around 1900 and some alterations. It is constructed of handmade brown brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan and an added kitchen wing at the rear. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and features two windows that are almost symmetrical. There are two large windows on each floor, slightly offset to the left of centre, all with raised sills and wedge lintels, now fitted with 20-pane top-hung casements. The house has gable chimneys, with the left one being extruded.

On the right-hand gable wall, there is a round-headed doorway that has an open-pedimented wooden architrave, which includes fluted pilasters and a dentilled lintel, along with a fanlight that features delicate radiating tracery. Inside, there is a lateral entrance hall with a semi-elliptical archway leading to a doglegged staircase. This staircase has an open string, scrolled brackets, stick balusters, and a mahogany handrail that is wreathed at the foot. Yew Tree House forms a group with No.172 opposite.
