Description

Yew Tree Cottage is a cottage with attached cob walls, dating from around 1700, with a 19th-century addition. The building is constructed of rubble stone, with a brick extension, and features a half-hipped thatched roof and gable end brick stacks. It is a single-storey and attic structure with four windows. The entrance includes a six-panelled door with a flat wooden hood on brackets, located to the right of centre. There is a blocked doorway and a 2-light casement window to the right, and to the left, a 2-light casement is set in a former mullioned window. A 19th-century bay to the left has a blocked doorway and a 3-light casement, both with segmental heads. The cottage has four eyebrow dormers with either 3-light or 2-light casements. A 20th-century brick addition is attached to the right return but is not of special interest. The rear and interior were not accessible during the survey in March 1986. The cottage features good cob walls attached to the left, built on a flint plinth with thatched capping, and includes a round-headed planked door leading to the gardens.
