Description

Yew Tree Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a rear block that dates from the early 17th century, while the rest of the house was built in the late 17th century, with later alterations. The structure is made of rubble and roughcast on the north and west sides, featuring a double Roman tiled roof at the front and a pantiled roof at the rear, with gable stacks and a ridge stack. The farmhouse is designed in an L-plan and has two storeys with three windows and three steep gables that rise to ridge height. It includes 3-light casements on both the ground and first floors, which decrease in size, and each gable has a 2-light casement. The second bay from the left has a panelled and glass door set in a moulded frame.

On the north elevation, there are two 2-light casements on the first floor and one on the ground floor. The 1½ storey rear kitchen wing features two 2-light casements on the ground floor and gables that rise to ridge height on each side, along with a single-storey lean-to and a brick gable stack. The south elevation of the wing has a plank door in a heavy moulded frame. The south elevation of the main block has a 2-light casement on both the ground and first floors, and a limestone sundial with scratch markings is set at the first-floor level. The rear of the house repeats the pattern of the front, except for a door in a chamfered frame to the right and small blocked stair lights at the ground and first floors between the two gables on the left, with only timber lintels remaining.

Inside, the parlour and parlour-chamber beams are chamfered with scroll and bar stops, while all other beams have scroll-stopped ends. The kitchen door features a heavy ovolo-moulded frame that has been cut back for the passage of barrels, and there is a winder stair against the hall stack.
