Yew Tree Farmhouse

Yew Tree Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It likely dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century and has undergone significant later additions and alterations. The building is timber framed with plastered brick infill set on a high sandstone plinth, topped with a plain tiled roof. It features a baffle-entry design that has been extended and converted, indicated by an interruption in the stonework of the plinth beneath the stack, suggesting a former entrance at that location. The structure is two storeys tall with a gable-lit attic and appears to consist of two, but is probably three, structural bays.

The framing consists of three square panels from the cill to the wall plate, with short tension braces. There are two three-light 20th-century leaded casements on each floor, with one of the two-light windows located where the former entrance was. The central ridge stack has been rebuilt in mid-19th century purplish-brown brick. The left gable end is now clad in brick, while the right gable end retains planted framing. At the rear, there is a long mid-to-late 19th century painted brick extension that runs at right angles, featuring a catslide roof and three 20th-century dormers in the roof slope. This extension may incorporate some earlier work, as suggested by the sandstone plinth on the right-hand wall.

The interior has not been inspected, but it is reported to contain some moulded plasterwork in one of the upstairs rooms.
