Description
Yew Tree Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th or 17th century. It is timber framed with exposed framing and brick infilling. The ground floor features red brick in Flemish bond on the left end of the front elevation, while the left gable end is made of flint. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The cottage consists of approximately four timber-framed bays and stands two storeys high on a flint plinth.
There is a continuous jetty with a shaped bracket between the right-central and right end bays, as well as a jetty at the left end. The framing has broadly-spaced studding, arranged in two panels up to the storey height, with tension braces and long shaped jowls on the left gable end. The roof is hipped, and there is a multiflue stack located to the left of centre, possibly at the left end of the left-central bay.
The cottage has irregular fenestration with three casements: one two-light window at each end and a three-light window to the right of the stack. A small shaped bracket is positioned under the three-light casement, likely intended for a now-missing oriel window. The entrance features a boarded door located under the stack. There is also a brick lean-to at the rear on the left side. The interior has not been inspected.
