Description

Yew Tree Cottage and The Cafe is a Grade II listed building that was originally one house but is now divided into two dwellings. It dates back to the mid-16th century and features a timber frame with plaster, including remnants of plaster panels with herringbone pargetted infill. The roof is covered with modern concrete pantiles. The building is two storeys high and has a single range gable end facing the road.

There are four windows, which include two-light and three-light small pane casements. At the rear (east) of Yew Tree Cottage, there is a six-panel door, while The Cafe has a 16th to 17th century plank door and a four-light ovolo-moulded mullion window. The gable end facing The Street features 19th century shop windows and double doors. Inside, there is an internal stack and a small gable end stack. The Cafe boasts a particularly impressive interior, with fine exposed framing, original floorboarding, and two ground floor arched doorways, as well as a cambered tie beam and a simple crown post roof.
