Description

Yarrow House is a former farmhouse dating from the early 18th century and later. It is constructed of colourwashed brick and some flint rubble, topped with slate roofs. The building has two storeys and an attic, featuring a four-bay facade. The intermediate bay and the southernmost bay are slightly set forward and have rusticated quoins. There are five large sash windows with glazing bars, set beneath skewback arches with lightly cambered soffits, which replace the smaller and more numerous original windows. The northernmost bay includes four modern French windows beneath a large, re-used semicircular traceried fanlight from the early 19th century, which has a central rose flanked by mouchettes. The front door is panelled and has a columnar porch added in the 20th century. The house features a dentil cornice, gable-end stacks, and one off-centre axial stack, along with curvilinear gables. A loggia was added to the south in 1972, and there are three modern dormer windows at the rear with moulded pediments. The rear also has a full-height extension, which includes a curvilinear gable.
