Description
Yard Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed from coursed dressed and squared Hollington sandstone and features a tiled roof with a large ridge stack at the rear. The front of the house is two stories high, with a single 20th-century window on the first floor above three windows on the ground floor. To the right, there is a four-light chamfered mullioned window. The entrance is located under the first-floor window, although it was formerly positioned immediately to the right, where there is now a window with a Tudor-arch heavy lintel. The left-hand gable has two large, labelled four-light chamfered and mullioned windows. The farmhouse is part of a close group of buildings situated around a hamlet crossroads.
