Description
Yew Tree House is a timber-framed building dating from the 17th century or early 18th century, standing two storeys high with three windows. It features a tiled roof with end chimneys and has exposed framing filled with plaster, resting on a brick plinth. On the first floor, there are two 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars, along with a small central leaded light beneath a shouldered segmental head. The ground floor includes two reproduction oriel bows. Access to the central door is via two wide stone steps, which are sheltered by a hood supported on carved brackets. At the back left, there is an old lean-to, and later extensions have been added at the back right.
