Yew Tree Cottage

Yew Tree Cottage is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with 20th-century alterations and additions. It features a timber frame with painted brick nogging set on a sandstone rubble plinth. The south-eastern gable end was rebuilt in the late 20th century using concrete block infill. The cottage has painted brick and rendered additions with planted timbers, and it is topped with plain tile roofs. The building is in an L-plan shape, consisting of two framed bays along with later additions, and it stands two storeys tall. There is probably an early 20th-century gable that is off-centre to the left, along with a brick ridge stack that is off-centre to the right.

The framing consists of square panels, with four panels extending from the sole-plate to the wall-plate, and short straight corner braces. The windows are irregularly placed, with four on the first floor and three on the ground floor. The first-floor windows include late 20th-century two- and three-light wooden casements, along with a small 19th-century casement to the right. There is a pair of 20th-century half-glazed doors located between the first and second windows from the right, and a 20th-century steel garage door on the left side.

Inside, the cottage features chamfered beams and joists with ogee stops, chamfered and stopped posts, and a timber-framed cross-wall. There are several chamfered ogee-headed door surrounds, one of which is blocked. A cross-passage runs to the right of the stack. The chamfered ceiling beams indicate that the rear wing may have originally extended further, but it appears to have been largely rebuilt in the early 20th century.
