Description
Yew Tree House is a building dating from the late 17th century. It features painted rubble walls and a tiled roof. Originally, the house consisted of two rooms on either side of a cross passage. It is two storeys high and has three windows, including an oak mullion window at the top left and a cross window at the bottom left. There is a later stone porch and an extension to the north. Inside, the house has chamfered and stopped beams in two of the ground floor rooms, and there are remains of a bread oven in the fireplace of the south room.
