Description

Yew Tree Cottage is a 17th-century cottage with 19th-century extensions on the left side. It features a timber frame, with brown and grey brick cladding below and weatherboarding above. The frame is exposed with render infill on the right-hand return front, while the ground floor is covered in whitewashed render and the upper part of the extensions is tile hung. The roofs are plain tiled and step up to the right. The cottage has an L-shaped plan that runs at right angles to the street.

There is an offset end stack on the right and a smaller rear end stack on the wing. The building is two storeys tall and has one diamond-pane window on the first floor and one on the ground floor to the right. The catslide extension at the angle with the gable end wing to the right contains a further five-light window and a door in the return wall, which is sheltered by a drip hood. There is also one diamond-pane window on the first floor of the return wall of the projecting wing and two first-floor windows on the gable end, with a pentice on the ground floor. The left-hand return front has an applied frame on the ground floor and a central gable, while the rear features fishscale tile hanging.
