Description

Yew Tree Cottage is a late 17th-century farmhouse with an L-shaped plan, built from coursed, squared gritstone rubble and topped with a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and features two windows on the first floor. It has large quoins and a board door on the right, set in a square-faced ashlar surround. There is a blocked central door that has been converted into a window, featuring a chamfered quoined surround and a very deep lintel. To the left, there is a 4-light double-chamfered mullion window, which retains only the central mullion and has wooden casements. On the right, there is a blocked mullion window surround. The first floor has a 20th-century casement window on the left and a 3-light wooden casement in a double-chamfered surround on the right. A rebuilt corniced ridge stack sits on an ashlar plinth. At the rear, there is a later addition that encloses several blocked double-chamfered windows. The right side of the cottage features two 3-light double-chamfered mullion windows on the ground floor, with a similar window above on the left that is missing one mullion, and a 2-light window to the right, all with wooden casements.
