Description
Yew Tree Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a clay tile roof, along with hammer-dressed ashlar stacks at the right-hand gable end and to the left of the center. The cottage has a two-room plan, with both rooms heated and a staircase located behind the chimney, directly opposite the entrance. The building is two storeys high and has two windows. The ground floor windows are mullioned with two lights, while the first-floor windows have three lights. The left-hand windows feature chamfered dripstones, and all mullions are chamfered except for those on the right side of the ground floor, which are plain. There is a gabled porch, dated 1861, that leads to the original doorway, which has a cambered and shouldered head.
