Description

Yewtree Farmhouse is a 14th or 15th century hall house that underwent extensive alterations in the early 16th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and plaster, topped with a red plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and features a three-window range of 18th century double hung vertical sliding sashes on the first floor, with 19th century windows below. At the east end, there is a 15th century lean-to. The long wall jetty includes former cross-wing jetties supported by curved brackets. Some of the timber frame is exposed internally.

Yewtree Farmhouse sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 60% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
