Yew Tree Cottage

Yew Tree Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed with a timber frame, featuring painted brick infill and red brick additions, and has a machine tile roof. The original two-cell plan was extended by one bay to the left in the mid-19th century. The cottage is two storeys high, with framing consisting of square panels, three from the cill to the wall-plate, and the right gable end was rebuilt in early 20th century red brick. The cottage has 20th century windows, with two paired in the centre and one directly above below the eaves. To the left of the boarded door on the right, there is a 19th century gabled timber porch. The four-panel door, with the top panels now glazed, is located under a late 19th century gabled brick porch at the junction between the 17th and 19th century parts of the cottage, along with a mid-20th century casement window on the ground floor of the addition. There is a red brick ridge stack roughly at the centre of the 17th century part and an integral end stack for the 19th century addition. The cottage is included for its group value.
