SY6784 DORCHESTER ROAD, Upwey 873-1/7/586 (East side) 14/06/74 No.708 Yew Tree Cottage (Formerly Listed as: DORCHESTER ROAD, Upwey Nos.706 AND 708)
GV II
Detached house, linked to No.706 (qv). Mid/late C18 and early to mid C19. Rubble, S-facing range rendered, tile roofs. The house stands set back from and gable-end to Dorchester Road; this is a plain range, but with an L-plan building in parallel with it, and a later range in brick added to the rear, giving a Z-plan layout. 2 storeys, symmetrical front with 2 hipped canted plain sash bays and a central C20 window above a C19 door and plain transom light, in deep reveals, with keystone. The bays probably replace earlier fenestration, as the plinth does not embrace the projections. There are gable stacks. The earlier rear block includes a 3-light casement at eaves level with C18 leading, above a further 3-light; this L-plan unit has 2 further stacks. INTERIOR: not inspected.
