Yew Tree House And Yew Tree Cottage

Yew Tree House and Yew Tree Cottage is a house and stables that have been converted into two dwellings. The building dates from the mid to late 17th century, with 18th-century stables and 19th- and 20th-century additions. It is long and narrow, constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and a pantile roof. The layout follows a three-cell lobby-entry plan and features a two-storey porch. At the rear, there is a two-storey stair turret, and to the right, a two-storey outshut was raised in the 20th century. To the left, a 19th-century two-storey outshut connects the house to the stable block.

The building has two storeys and three first-floor windows. The porch, located between the second and third windows, has a segmental arch on the ground floor and a studded three-panel door beneath a moulded brick pediment. The first floor features 16-pane sash windows with ashlar cills that project into a moulded brick band, with similar sashes above a further band. A 12-pane Yorkshire sash window is located under a flat brick arch on the first floor of the porch. The building has a stepped ridge stack and a stack with two diagonal shafts on the left gable. Both gable ends have Dutch gables; the left gable includes a first-floor four-pane Yorkshire sash and a blocked cavetto mullion window, both under flat brick arches, as well as a partly blocked two-light mullion window. The right gable features Yorkshire sliding sashes and a tripartite sash window. A moulded band runs around both gables at the first floor level and above the first-floor windows.

Inside, some ground floor rooms have ovolo-moulded beams in the ceilings, and there is an ovolo-moulded bressummer beam over the fireplace in the central room. Some ground floor rooms also have sliding shutters.
