House North Of The Yews

The House North of the Yews is a house built around 1830-1840, likely designed by Paxton and Robertson. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone and ashlar, featuring a plain tile hipped and gabled roof with bracketed eaves and a pair of lateral ashlar stacks. The building has a heavy moulded plinth and plain bands on the first and second floors. It stands two to three storeys tall and has a west elevation with three bays.

The left bay is broad and gabled, showcasing a 4-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, with a similar 2-light window above. The central bay is a narrow recessed section with a tall thin lancet staircase window that has a moulded hoodmould, and a blind rectangular window above it beneath a pointed shaped gable. The right bay features a three-storey canted bay, with a 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion window on the ground floor, a similar 2-light window above with triangular headed lights, and a wooden cross window above that, also with triangular headed lights under a single triangular headed recessed and chamfered surround.

There is a single storey porch to the north and glazing bar sashes at the rear. This house was built as part of the picturesque model village created by Paxton for the Sixth Duke of Devonshire.
