Description

Yew Tree Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with an extension added to the front around 1800 and later alterations. The building is constructed of colour-washed rubble, which is said to include cob walling in the early part of the structure. It features double Roman tiled roofs with brick gable stacks at the rear and a ridge stack on the front block. The original layout likely included a through passage.

The first section of the farmhouse is two storeys high and has two windows, although the former windows to the left have been blocked by a later building. On the ground floor, there is a 4-light casement window with replaced wooden ovolo mullions, leaded lights, and a hood mould. The first floor has two similar 3-light casements located under the eaves. To the left of the main entrance, there is a doorway with an ovolo-moulded and stopped frame, featuring a studded door with raised fillets, straphinges, and a timber lintel.

The front range of the building is also two storeys and has four windows, all of which are 20th-century casements. The door second from the left has a hood above it. The right return of the building includes a ground floor fixed light with margin glazing and a 20th-century casement in the gable end. The left return features a 20th-century multi-pane casement on both the ground and first floors, along with a door and a blocked first floor window at the rear.

On the right return of the first building, there is a small single light window with a timber lintel at ground floor level to the left of the flue, while the left return has a blocked door and a first floor window to the left of the flue, with an oven projecting to the right and topped with slate. The rear of the farmhouse has three 20th-century casements with glazing bars under the eaves, a ground floor 4-light casement with replaced ovolo mullions and a timber lintel, a small 3-light casement with a timber lintel (possibly the former position of a door), a 20th-century 2-light casement, and a greenhouse attached to the right, which features a half-glazed inner door with a frame cut back for the passage of barrels. The interior has not been inspected.
