Description
Yew Tree Farmhouse is a 16th or 17th century timber-framed house that has been fronted in yellow brick during the late 19th century. It features a steep pantile roof with gabled ends and an off-centre brick chimney stack. The building has two storeys and a five-window range comprising 2 and 3-light mullion and transom casements. There are two doors, one from the 19th century and a modern one, with the latter located in front of the chimney stack. Inside, the farmhouse boasts stopped and chamfered ceiling beams and joists, along with moulded fireplace bressumers sourced from Rushall Priory.
