Description
Yew Tree Cottage is a 17th-century cottage constructed of brick and timber framing, featuring a tile-hung upper storey and a hipped thatched roof. There is a stack on the ridge above the door, and the building has two eyebrow semi-dormers. The entrance has been altered to a lobby type, and the cottage is designed in a T-plan layout with one and a half storeys. The front has three windows, all of which are casements, and there is a central boarded door. To the right, there is a 20th-century addition that includes a one-storey and attic extension.
