Description

Yew Tree Farmhouse is a house, probably built in the late 17th century. It features rubble walls that are coursed and brought to courses, with a gabled, tiled roof that has sprocketted eaves and a central brick stack. The main range of the house is symmetrical, consisting of two storeys with three window ranges. A weathered string course steps up over the door. The ground floor has four-light stone mullioned windows with hollow chamfers on either side of a central door, which is framed in ashlar with a depressed four-centred head. Above, there are similar two-light windows flanking an oval ashlar window. The rear wing has similar windows and a door surround. Many of the windows have been restored. At the time of the survey in 1983, a new porch was under construction, featuring mullioned windows and a four-centred headed, moulded doorway, along with a part-glazed 19th-century door. The house has a T-plan and a 20th-century outshut at the rear. Some fireplaces have been restored, and much of the stonework has been, or was in the process of being, restored at the time of the survey.
