Description
The Yews is a house built in the early 19th century. It features red brick in Flemish bond with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof with two gable stacks. The building is two stories high and has a three-bay front, which includes an ashlar plinth and a dentillated moulded eaves cornice. The central entrance is an 8-panelled door with a plain fanlight, framed by a Tuscan doorcase that has an open pediment and roses on the necking of the half columns. On either side of the door are single glazing bar sash windows. The first floor has three similar windows, with the central one being narrower. All the windows are adorned with fluted and moulded cornices that are supported by acanthus brackets.
