RYLSTONE B6265 SD 9658-9758 (west side, off) 15/71 Yew Tree Farmhouse 10.9.54 GV II House. Dated 1670, late C18-early C19 alterations. Gritstone rubble, graduated stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 2 bays. Quoins. C20 board door to far left, in a moulded quoined surround, the moulding carried over the triangular doorhead. A recessed plaque to lintel with evenly spaced raised letters, "1670 C B". Recessed chamfered mullion windows throughout, of 6 and 7 lights to ground floor, of 4 and 3 lights above. A central king mullion to the left window on each floor, and a continuous string course at first-floor level. Corniced ashlar stack to right. Interior not inspected at resurvey. The 1670 stack was probably opposite the entrance, this being altered when the house was reroofed. The carved detail and architectural elements of king mullions and string course are particularly fine for so small a house.
