Description
Yew Tree Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century that has been extensively restored in the 21st century. It features a timber frame with a base of red and grey chequerwork brick, and the upper part of the frame is exposed with whitewashed render infill. The roof is plain-tiled and half-hipped. The cottage has two storeys and consists of four framed bays, with tension bracing on the first floor and a thinner frame on the right end. There is a large cross ridge stack located to the left of the center and an end stack at the rear right. On the first floor, there are three diamond-pane casement windows situated under through-eaves gables, along with one additional first floor window on the right. The ground floor has three 20th-century diamond-pane windows, and to the left, there is a 20th-century door set in a gabled brick porch. The first floor on the right-hand return front is tile hung.
