Description
Yewtree Cottage is a very small house that dates from the 17th century or earlier. It features a timber frame construction with a thatched roof, which is half-hipped at the gable end facing the road. The opposite gable has an external red brick chimney stack from the 17th century. The cottage is one and a half storeys tall and has one window on each elevation. The northwest side includes a small porch with a half-glazed door, while the windows are modern casements. There is also a single-storey tiled extension on the southwest side.
