Yew Tree House And Adjoining Wall

Yew Tree House and the adjoining wall are a house and wall built in the early 19th century, with alterations and extensions made around 1930. The building features stuccoed brick and shallow-pitched slate roofs with overhanging eaves supported by brackets. It has large ridge stacks topped with blue brick caps. The house is two storeys high and has a first-floor sill band.

The front facade consists of three bays. On the right side of the ground floor, there is a tripartite sash window adorned with pilasters, a moulded cornice, and a cambered head. The left ground floor window has been blocked, while a large rectangular window and a narrow light were added around 1930 next to the right window. The first floor has 12-pane sashes in the outer bays, with the left one being blind and painted over, and a pair of 8-pane sashes in the central bay.

The central entrance features an open segmental pediment on consoles, fluted pilasters, and an eared moulded architrave. The door, which is from the 20th century, is glazed, and above it, partly enclosed by the pediment, is a glazed circular opening with a plaster swag above. To the right, a two-bay service wing projects and is recessed from the main front, with a single-storey hipped-roofed wing attached to its front elevation. This area is screened by a curved stuccoed wall that stands about 10 feet high and stretches 20 yards long, adjoining the right corner of the main elevation.

Inside, the central hall features a large open well staircase with slender turned balusters. The main ground floor rooms are panelled and retain their moulded fireplaces. Additionally, there is a ballroom wing at the rear right, dating from the mid to late 19th century. The rear elevation underwent further alterations and extensions around 1930.
