Description

Yew Tree Cottage, the Yews, and Beaconsfield are a group of Tudor-style cottages that form an irregular short terrace, built around 1840. The cottages feature stucco walls, a plinth, hoodmoulds over some windows, and chamfered openings. They have a slate roof, with decorative scalloped bargeboard on Beaconsfield. The south elevation is two storeys high, with a window arrangement of two, one, and one. The east end of the terrace slightly projects, as it is the south gable end of Beaconsfield. Yew Tree and the Yews have coupled casements with pointed heads, while Beaconsfield includes a rectangular ground-floor bay on the west side and a two-storeyed splayed bay beneath the gable. The east elevation of Beaconsfield is symmetrical, featuring two storeys with three windows, hoodmoulds, chamfered reveals, casements, and a gabled porch with an arched opening. Yew Tree has a gabled Tudor porch, and the Yews has a Tudor-arched doorway set within a 20th-century half-glazed porch. The group is included for its collective architectural value.
