Yew Tree Farmhouse

Yew Tree Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, likely built in the early 18th century and modernised in the 19th century, with one of the outshots dated 1816. The building is timber-framed, with the ground floor underbuilt in Flemish bond red brick featuring decorative burnt headers. A brick in the end outshot is inscribed with the initials WB and the date 1816, and the brickwork extends continuously from the outshot to the front wall. The framing above is covered with peg-tile, and the roof is also finished with peg-tile, featuring brick stacks and chimney shafts.

The farmhouse faces south-southwest and has a two-room plan with a central cross passage leading to a stair in the rear stair block. Both rooms have gable-end stacks, and the projecting stack on the left (west) end may be a 19th-century addition to what was previously an unheated service room. The room on the right serves as the main living room.

The building has two storeys with attics in the roof space. There is a full-height stair block at the rear and a secondary block alongside, both likely rising from secondary lean-to outshots that return around the right end. The exterior features a nearly symmetrical three-window front with 19th-century casements that have glazing bars. The nearly central front doorway contains a 19th-century part-glazed fielded six-panel door, and the main roof is gable-ended.

The interior was not available for inspection at the time of this survey, but it appears to have undergone very little 20th-century modernisation. A previous listing description mentions an axial beam in the main living room with narrow chamfers, a large brick fireplace with a bread oven in the same room, an 18th-century winder stair, and other 18th-century plank doors.
