Description
Yew Tree Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated "H/R.1/1698" located on the north side of High Street in Ascott d'Oyley. It is constructed from coursed rubble and features a Cotswold stone roof. The building has a rectangular lobby entry plan and is divided into two parts under a continuous roof. The left-hand part, dating from 1698, originally had five windows but now has two wooden cross-mullion casements. It includes a central oval datestone and a blocked doorway that aligns with paired square ashlar chimneys; the doorway now features an oval light in the blocking masonry. The right-hand part is an early to mid-19th century extension, which includes two windows and a doorway with segment-headed openings. At the rear, there is a gabled stair turret aligned with the chimney. The 19th-century wing has a dairy at the front and a kitchen/wash-house that projects to the rear; the wash-house is open to the roof and has a bread-oven projection.
