Description

Yew Tree Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the 16th century, with an eastern block added in the early 18th century, marked by a stone tablet dated 1716. The western wing is timber-framed, while the eastern block is constructed of red brick and features an old tile roof with two hipped dormers and a plaster coved eaves cornice. The building is two stories tall with an attic and has a moulded brick plinth.

The front facade consists of three bays, with the outer bays featuring three-light leaded casements that have segmental arched heads. The central entrance is a six-panelled flush door topped with a flat hood supported by cut brackets, and above it is a panel displaying the date tablet, flanked by rubbed brick pilasters. The south gable includes floor bands, an old attic window, and modern casement windows on the ground and first floors.

At the rear of the eastern block, there is an old brick stack with square shafts and a tall narrow projection that combines timber framing and brickwork. The main western wing has a half-hipped old tile roof and exposed framing with curved braces, along with modern casement windows.
