Yew Tree Cottage

This is a house, possibly a former vicarage, dating back to the 17th century. It has a timber frame covered with painted roughcast and a thatched roof. The building comprises four bays, with a wider block at the road end, featuring a central stair hall flanked by a drawing room and parlour. To the rear is a kitchen with a stack on the gable, and two timber-framed bays. An early 19th century lean-to has been added to the rear, encompassing a library and a second room in the end bay, which was formerly an outbuilding. The main entrance is now located within the rear lean-to, while the original entrance was a thatched, half-round porch leading to a through hall. The windows are timber-sashed with paned glass.

Inside, the stair is from the early 19th century. The parlour, located to the west, was remodelled in the early 19th century, featuring a large bay window with shutters and a reeded architrave looking towards the garden, and a smaller bow window to the gable end. A 20th-century fireplace is set within an early 19th century Georgian style surround. The drawing room contains good quality early 17th century oak panelling, a chamfered spine beam, and a fine 19th-century cast iron fireplace and surround. The timber-framed section's library was previously divided by a partition and spine beam with check and scoop stops. The kitchen at the rear originally had an oven within a large fireplace. On the first floor, there’s a carved 17th-century bracket in the end bay. The house is thought to be the one mentioned in 1677 as a vicarage, and in 1783 as being timber-framed.
