Yew Tree Cottage and New Farm Cottages

Yew Tree Cottage and New Farm Cottages are a pair of cottages built around 1845, likely designed by J. Thomson for J. Neeld of Grittleton. They are constructed from squared rubble stone and feature a stone slate eaves roof with a central ridge stack. The cottages are two storeys high and have a two-window range, with unmoulded two-light mullion windows on the upper floor. Below, there are canted ashlar bays with stone slate roofs and very small-paned lights. Each end wall has a gabled porch roofed with stone slate, supported by rubble stone piers topped with swollen ashlar caps, and there is a single light window above each porch. Although not illustrated in J. Thomson's 1845 designs for Alderton, this pair of cottages is marked on the village plan.
