Yew Tree Farmhouse

Yew Tree Farmhouse is a disused farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame with rendered and red brick infill, and has a corrugated iron roof over thatch with weatherboarded eaves. The original layout includes a baffle-entry plan with two wide bays, and a short single bay added to the left in the mid-19th century, which is painted black and white to imitate a timber frame. The building is one storey high with a gable-lit attic.

The framing consists of rectangular panels, two extending from the cill to the wall plate, with short straight tension braces. There is a boarded door on the far left of the 16th-century section, a segmental-headed 19th-century casement window in the addition, a 19th-century fixed-light window in the center with a contemporary leaded casement above, and a small casement window to the right. Internal red brick stacks are located behind the ridge at both ends, with the left stack positioned at the junction of the 16th-century part and the 19th-century addition. A 19th-century brick lean-to on the right gable end houses a bread oven.

Inside, the timber frame is visible throughout, including in the cross-wall. The ground floor rooms feature chamfered spine beams and heavy joists, with a partly infilled inglenook fireplace with a wooden lintel in the left room of the 16th-century section, and a 19th-century inglenook fireplace with a contemporary bread oven in the right room. An oak winder staircase is located to the right of the cross-wall, and original floorboards and stepping are present leading to the left stack upstairs. The roof is constructed with collars and tie beams in two bays, single purlins, and straight wind braces.
