Yew Tree Farmhouse

This is a timber-framed farmhouse, originally dating to the 16th century, with additions and alterations made in the 17th and 19th centuries. It has a plaintile roof and an H-shaped plan, with projecting wings on either side of a recessed central range.

The front of the farmhouse features a 4-light 19th-century casement window to the right wing, with a projecting gable supported on brackets, and a 3-light casement on both floors of the left wing. The central range has a 19th-century doorway with a moulded surround and a door with flush and glazed panels. It also contains 4-light and 3-light casement windows. A large chimney stack with two flues is positioned on the ridge of the right-hand side of the central range, while a mostly demolished chimney stack sits on the ridge of the left wing. Close-studding with wattle and daub infill is visible beneath the render of the left wing.

The left side of the farmhouse has a central doorway, a ground-floor window, and further windows on the first floor. The right side has a doorway, a blocked window with moulded mullions and a chamfered brick surround, and blank walling to the first floor.

Inside, the central range has shallow-chamfered ceiling beams and chamfered wall posts with bar and die-out end stops. The southern cross wing has an ovolo-moulded ceiling beam and a blocked ovolo-moulded window in a gable end. The 19th-century outshut retains its coppers in the wash house, and the 19th-century staircase features pament tiling, stick balusters, and square newels. Close-studded walling is visible in one room in the central range. The attic space reveals that the southern wing was built separately and later joined to the central range, which has common rafters without a ridge beam and angled wind bracing. The gable end of the central range has wattle and daub infill with evidence of a former 6-light window. The north wing has close-studded walling with brick nogging and crossed ceiling beams in one room. A brick chimney piece has an ashlar surround with a 4-centered arch and quoins filled with grooved red plaster.
