Description
Yew Tree Cottage is a detached cottage located on Church Hill in Sheepscombe, dating from the 18th century, though it may contain some earlier elements. The building is constructed of squared limestone rubble and features a stone slate roof. It consists of a single two-room block with a brick stack at one end and a later extension at a lower level, with the gable end facing the road.
The cottage is two storeys high and has two windows, each featuring two-light stone mullioned casements with plain chamfers on the left and recessed chamfers on the right. On the far side, there is a single two-light wood casement above a 20th-century glazed door, and to the right on the ground floor, there is a two-light chamfer-mullion stone casement.
Inside, the cottage has been modified, with a plain bressummer fire that is likely a 20th-century renewal, two chamfered beams, and a location for an original spiral stair to the left of the fireplace. The gable facing the road indicates the position of an earlier roof line.
