Description
Yew Tree House is a house built in 1905 by Ernest Newton for Richard Biddulph Martin. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features a stone tiled roof laid in diminishing courses. The house is single storey with an attic and has half-dormers, presenting a three-bay façade. All windows are leaded casements, including two 2-light windows and one single-light window on the ground floor, all with wedge lintels. The central entrance features a gabled rustic timber porch and a half-glazed door, also with a wedge lintel. The front north-east corner of the building has a lower angle that is chamfered back, likely to allow for vehicle access, while the upper part is corbelled out to align with the main wall surfaces. Inscribed on this chamfered section is "YEW TREE COTTAGE/ AD 1905". Additionally, there is a lean-to addition at the west end, which includes a 2-light window in its front elevation.
