Description

Yew Tree Farmhouse is a 17th century or earlier farmhouse that was formerly used as cottages and is now a house. The ground floor features patched buff, red, and grey brick, primarily in Flemish bond. The first floor is tile-hung to the left of the stack and weatherboarded in front of and to the right of the stack. The building has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high on a rendered plinth. It has a hipped roof and a brick ridge stack located to the left of the centre. The fenestration is irregular, consisting of two casements: one small two-light window to the left and one three-light window to the right. There is a ribbed door located in a brick porch beneath the stack. The interior has not been inspected.
