Description
Yew Tree Farmhouse is a house, formerly with a Post Office, dating from the early 18th century. It is a single storey building with attics and consists of four cells, which may have originally been a pair of cottages. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof featuring gabled casement corners. At each end of the house, there are 18th-century gable chimneys made of red brick, some of which have burnt headers; one chimney has a plain tiled external bread oven, while the other has a lean-to pantiled outhouse. The windows are a mix of 19th and 20th-century casements, with one featuring a 19th-century hinged and boarded shutter. There are also two boarded entrance doors from the 19th century. Inside, the timber framing is fully exposed, showcasing typical 18th-century features such as straight primary-braced studwork, on-edge floor joists, and a significant amount of reused timber.
