Description

Yew Tree House is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 19th century. It features a timber frame clad with red brick and fish-scale tiles on the first floor, topped with a plain tiled roof. The house has a lobby entry plan with a central entry and stack bay, flanked by rooms of varying sizes. It stands two storeys high beneath a hipped roof with gablets and an off-centre stack. The first floor has two box-framed sash windows and a small wooden casement in the middle, while the ground floor has two wooden casements. The central door is boarded and has a sidelight, set within a large 20th-century porch. At the rear, there is a one-storey and attic 20th-century extension, with a roof that steps up from the main range, a stack, and a boarded door. Inside, there is evidence of a continuous jetty on both long sides and a wooden mullioned window. The roof features clasped purlins and wind braces, and there is an unheated upper room in the smaller framed bay. This house has an unusual plan for the area.
