Yew Tree House

Yew Tree House is a house dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century. It is timber framed with plaster infilling, and some areas are completely plastered. The roof is covered with plain tiles. This Wealden house consists of four timber-framed bays, including two open hall bays of approximately equal length. It has two storeys set on a stone plinth, with a cellar at the right end. The first floor of the right and left end bays jetties out on brackets. On the first floor, the left bay of the hall features one tension brace on either side of a central stud, while the right bay has widely spaced studs. There is plastered coving from the recessed hall to the flying wall-plate, which is also braced from the end bays. The roof is hipped with a gablet at the left end and an off-centre stack to the left on the front slope of the roof, along with a projecting stack at the right end. The fenestration is irregular, featuring one two-light sliding casement in the left bay, one three-light sliding casement in the right bay of the hall, and one two-light ordinary casement in the right bay. There is an arched door head at the left end of the left hall bay, with a 20th-century plank door.
