Yew Tree Farmhouse

Farmhouse. It likely dates back to the 15th century, with additions to the rear in the 17th century. The east wing and interior were altered in the early 18th century, with further changes made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The farmhouse is constructed of rubble, with a rendered finish to the front and painted on the right return. It has a double Roman tiled hipped roof with an off-centre stack, while the rear has pantiled roofs. The layout is a through passage, U-plan design.

The front elevation has two storeys and three windows. At the first floor, all four windows are 4-pane sashes in exposed boxes. The ground floor has a plate-glass sash on the left, a sash with thick glazing bars to the right (both with a wedge-shaped head and keystone), and a central panelled and glazed door with a triangular hood. The right return features a buttress to the left, a small 12-pane sash at ground floor right, and a 20th-century window at first floor. A rear wing to the right, originally single-storey, was later raised with an upper floor, showcasing a 4-light 20th-century window at ground floor and a raking dormer above. A ridge stack includes an oven projection, and a connected outhouse features a 19th-century 3-light casement. The left return has a 2-light casement on the ground floor, with a straight joint up to the first-floor level to the rear wing, which has two sashes in exposed boxes on the ground floor and a 2-light and single-light casement under the eaves on the first floor. The rear of the wing contains two small 4-pane windows with round heads and relieving arches, and a 2-light casement at first floor. There is a covered area between the two wings at the rear, along with rear through passage doors with strap hinges. One wing has a glazed door, while the other has a panelled and glazed door leading to an outhouse, as well as a 3-light casement and a door with a timber lintel to the kitchen.

Inside, the front rooms on the left and right have deep-chamfered stop-chamfered spine beams, with run-out stops to the left, supported on a pier. The room on the right includes an 18th-century cupboard in a recess with shaped shelves. A modified winder stair leads to the rear on the right side of the passage. A room to the rear left was altered in the 18th century as a parlour, featuring a boxed beam and deep recesses to either side of the fireplace, with moulded round-headed arches. At the first floor, two cruck trusses are visible at the back, boxed and cut off at the front, with a total of three trusses, cambered collars, and smoke-blackened purlins.
