Description
Union Yard is a house that has been divided into four dwellings. It dates from the early 18th century and was subdivided in the mid to late 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, standing on a plinth with a moulded brick upper edge. It has a modern plain tiled roof featuring a wood modillion eaves cornice and end parapets on kneelers, along with end and ridge stacks. The original lobby entry plan has been altered due to the subdivision.
The house is two storeys high with an attic and has a band between the courses. The dormers have been removed. The symmetrical first-floor facade features five 20th-century wood cross frame casements in their original openings, which are topped with gauged brick arches and fine tuck pointing.
On the ground floor, the original lobby entry doorway is now blocked, and two paired doorways have been inserted, each with a porch made of red brick and black mortar courses, topped with a tiled roof and a steep end parapet on shaped stone kneelers. The porches have chamfered segmental outer arches. Each porch leads to two doorways that access the dwellings. There are three ground floor windows in their original openings, also under gauged brick arches with fine tuck pointed mortar courses.
The west gable end features limestone quoins. A blocked gable end attic window has a stone with the date 1659 incorporated into the blocking, which may indicate the date of the house, although the brickwork suggests it is more similar to early 18th-century houses in Haddenham, such as number 68 Hill Row, which is dated 1735.
