Description
Yew Tree Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been altered in the late 18th century, with later additions and modifications. It is shown on the Ordnance Survey map as Yew Tree House. The building features painted brick that largely conceals or replaces the original timber frame, topped with a plain tile roof that has crow-stepping on the left gable end. The layout consists of a three-unit baffle-entry plan, with a half-length brick lean-to at the rear. The farmhouse is one storey with an attic and has a dentilled eaves cornice.
The front has late 19th-century casement windows with 18th-century segmental heads, including one window to the left and two to the right of a four-panel door, which is sheltered by a late 19th-century open gabled porch supported by cast-iron columns. There are also late 19th-century gabled eaves dormers directly above the right windows. A reddish-brown chimney stack is located immediately behind the ridge to the left of the entrance. The right gable end has exposed timber-framed square panels, although these are now mostly concealed by an attached 19th-century farm building that is not of special architectural interest. Additionally, there is a 19th-century single-storey brick lean-to on the left gable end.
Inside, the farmhouse features chamfered spine beams and heavy joists in the two main ground-floor rooms. There is a massive stack, stepped on the first floor, with a rebuilt inglenook fireplace in the left ground-floor room, and a dog-leg staircase located behind the stack in the right room. The roof structure consists of a single-purlin design with straight windbraces, and the collar and tie beam are exposed at the first truss from the left.
