Description
Yew Trees and Yew Tree Gallery is a house that has been converted to include a shop. It dates from the early 18th century and has undergone later alterations. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar quoins and gable ends, topped with a clay tile roof featuring ashlar coped verges on kneelers. It has brick stacks at the ends and a ridge stack located to the west of the center. The layout consists of a three-room lobby entry plan with a single-cell service wing to the east. The main range is two stories tall and is accompanied by a slightly lower two-story service wing.
The main range features three windows with 20th-century glazing bar casements that have segmental heads. There are battened doors on either side of the center, both with segmental heads and accessed by short flights of steps, along with three skylights. The service wing has one bay, with a segmental headed casement on the first floor and a late 19th or 20th-century two-light flat face mullioned window on the ground floor. The east gable includes a blocked 18th-century two-light chamfer mullioned window with a straight hood mould.
Inside, there is a large fireplace on the west wall of the two most westerly rooms, along with stopped and chamfered beams. The staircase in the east room of the main house features some reused splat balusters. The roof has a curved principal rafter design with raking struts extending from the tie beam to the principal rafters, and curved wind braces, with most of the timbers being reused.
