Description
The farmhouse at Yewtree Farm, originally listed as Yewtree House, dates from the late 15th or early 16th century and represents a variant form of a Wealden house. The hall was floored around 1600, and a late 17th-century attic is dated 1697. The exterior features an exposed timber frame with plaster and a thatched hipped roof, which has red tile courses at the eaves and around the gabled attic dormer. There is a late 17th-century red brick chimneystack, which has been built up later, located towards the south and includes mullions.
The east elevation has four windows and a continuous jetty, with the end bays being original jettied cross wings that have tension bracing on each floor. The ground floor features three late 17th-century, three-light, leaded casements. Above the door, there is an attic window dated 1697, with a window below that has casements of the same date. The first floor includes 19th-century oriel windows, one of which is a canted, two-light casement. The north elevation has a tall, 19th-century, external red brick stack, while the ground floor is roughcast with a canted tiled oriel on the east side. The rear elevation displays two thatched, single-light, eyebrow dormers set into the slope of the roof.
Additionally, there is a mid-19th-century, one-window extension on the south side that connects the thatched and weatherboarded range to the house, part of which served as an outdoor kitchen. Inside, the farmhouse features a two-bay hall and a late 17th-century oak staircase on the north side. There are also remains of a diamond mullioned window in the west wall of the hall.
