Yew Trees

Yew Trees is a house dating to the 16th century or earlier, with a lower north part constructed in the 17th century and a north end extension added around 1973. The rear of the house exhibits a timber frame with red brick infill. The front is faced with whitewashed brick, with a roughcast southern gable and a dark weatherboarded northern gable. The roof is covered with old red tiles.

The house is a three-bay framed structure of two storeys and attics facing east, set back from the road. It has a 1½-storey north part and low 20th-century extensions at the north end. The east elevation, dating to the 18th century, features dentil eaves and two flush sash windows with 3/6 panes on the first floor, and 6/6 panes on the ground floor. The central entrance has a doorcase with an open pediment on consoles, accompanied by a smaller window to the right. There are two chimney stacks with diagonally square shafts.

The rear wall displays massive exposed timbers and brick nogging. A series of vertical grooves run down the red brick panel next to the southwest corner. Flush sash windows, both double and single, include 6/6 panes. There are two gabled dormers. Interior features include jowled posts, corner curved tension braces to the south end, a large central post, and braced walls. The main three-bay section has a roof with clasped purlins and curved wind braces, along with close studding in the partition to the south bay, a butt-scarfed purlin, and an axial beam in the central bay resting on moulded corbel brackets. Mason-mitred mouldings are visible on the dining room door. The north part of the house has a clasped purlin roof with straight wind braces.
