Description
Yew Tree Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse that dates back to the 17th century, with a significant addition made in the mid-18th century. The building features a timber frame, brick construction, and brick and rendered brick chimneys, topped with a clay plain tile roof. It is a single-storey structure with an attic, and there is a two-storey section with an attic added to the south, which includes a rear outshut.
On the east front, the 18th-century part of the house to the left has a three-window layout. To the right, there is a doorway featuring a six-panel part-glazed fielded door and a timber porch with a Regency-style hood. The outer windows are sash windows with keyed brick flat arches, while the central upper floor has a small-paned casement. A brick dentil course runs along the eaves.
To the right, the 17th-century section displays small framing with a gable at the center and scattered 20th-century casements. The north end showcases a small framed gable with two curved braces, a rendered plinth, and weatherboarding at the gable apex. There is a row of 19th-century attic casements, with an oriel below the central ones, and a 20th-century off-centre casement below. The junction with the 18th-century house features paired rendered ridge-mounted chimneys, while the gable end of the 18th-century section has a brick ridge-mounted chimney and an off-centre attic casement below.
At the south end, there is a rendered gable and side of the outshut, which includes a raised plank door with a segmental arched head. A 19th-century off-centre attic casement and a rendered ridge-mounted chimney are also present. The west side of the farmhouse has an outshut that stops short of the north end, with scattered small-paned casements and a glazed porch at the rear of the 17th-century house, which features a raking roof dormer above. The interior has not been inspected.
