Description

Yew Tree Cottage is a cottage dated 1833, featuring the initials J. & H.B. (possibly for Beeby) on the porch keystone. The building is constructed of wet-dashed rubble and has a graduated slate roof with a stone ridge and rendered end chimneys. It is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays. The central entrance consists of a panelled door set in a porch with monolithic stone cheeks and a moulded head. On either side of the door are paired sash windows, and there are three additional sash windows above, all framed in stone surrounds.

Local climate

Yew Tree Cottage sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,590 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 59% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
