Yew Tree Cottage

This is a house, likely dating from the early 18th century, with alterations in the later 18th century, early 19th century, mid-19th century, and around 1900. It's constructed of chalk rubble with red brick dressings, some brick facing, and has a Welsh slate roof. The house is two storeys and has a loft, with two wide bays. A two-storey wing was added to the rear left, likely in the 18th century, and a two-storey outshut was added to the rear right, probably in the early 19th century.

The front facade is symmetrical, featuring brick quoins. A central 19th-century door, consisting of six raised and fielded panels, is set within a later, mid to late 19th-century cast iron decorative porch with a swept roof. Flanking the door are canted bay windows added around 1900, with casement windows and flat roofs; remnants of timber secondary lintels are visible above the door and right-hand window. Above, on the first floor, there are two segmental brick-arched windows with three lights. Brick end stacks are present, with the right-hand stack being of old brick.

At the rear, the wing's inner return has a segmental-arched window on the ground floor and a three-light, wood-mullion window with leaded glazing on the first floor. A brick end stack is also present. Later, 20th-century lean-to additions are not of particular interest. On the left return of the main range, there's an iron tie-rod and a timber-lintelled loft window with decorative bargeboards dating from around 1900. The wing has an old two-light wood-framed window on the ground floor, with diamond-set mullions, saddle bars, and leaded glazing. A further two-light window is located on the first floor. The left return of the main range has similar barge boards and a small four-pane window to the outshut, with a two-light window above.

The interior features chamfered beams (boxed in on the ground floor of the main range) and early 19th-century board doors, some of which are beaded, with iron hinges. Ground-floor rooms have early panelled shutters; the fireplaces are dated around 1900. A wooden winder stair leads to the loft, which has wide floorboards and five roof trusses with principal rafters, one set of butt purlins, a diagonally set ridge piece, old rafters, and long raking wind braces. The end stacks are of rubblestone, becoming circular below the brick tops, and there are traces of a former thatched roof.
