Yew Tree Farmhouse

Yew Tree Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating back to the 16th century, with alterations made in 1679, as indicated by a date marking on the east side of the original section, and a further extension built in the 18th century. The main structure is timber-framed, now with a pebble-dashed finish over a squared and dressed limestone plinth; the 18th-century range is painted brick. The roof is tiled, originally thatched, with a 20th-century red brick stack. The house has a rectangular plan with the 18th-century extension forming an 'L' shape, along with a lean-to extension to the north gable.

The east-facing elevation of the original part of the house has two 20th-century two-light wooden casements with glazing bars on the ground floor, and two similar casements above. These casements slightly project from the wall. A small 2-light casement with horizontal glazing bars is on the first floor of the main part of the house, and there's a single 2-light hipped roof dormer with glazing bars. Decorative motifs are carved into the first floor, running from left to right: a face resembling a cat or a shield, a crown, and a circle with a diamond at the centre surrounded by foliate motifs. Below these are the date 1679 and what appear to be initials, including 'M' and a reversed 'D'. The west front has four windows, with 20th-century single or 2-light wooden casements with glazing bars. A 20th-century plank door is in the lean-to extension. The north-west view of the 18th-century extension shows a band between the floors and a tripartite sash window to the ground floor, to the left of a fielded panelled door within a part-glazed lean-to porch. Above is a 12-pane sash window, and sash windows formerly lighting the gable end are now blocked. There is an axial stack to the original range and a lateral stack to the 18th-century extension.

Inside, the original range was formerly composed of three rooms. It has two back-to-back fireplaces with bressumers, one featuring an ovolo moulding on the jamb stones. A 17th-century staircase has barley-twist balusters, a ramped handrail, and carved brackets at the end of each riser, with newels made up of combinations of 4 or 8 barley-twist balusters.
