Description
East Oakley House is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of rubble with ashlar and painted ashlar dressings, and features a rendered bay window. The roof is covered with concrete tiles, has stone gable copings, and rendered chimneys, while the roof of the bay window is made of Welsh slate.
The house is two storeys high and has three bays, with walls that show a slight batter. The north front, which faces the green, has a 20th-century outshut on the left that obscures the door. There is a central window with a flat stone lintel, likely inserted in an earlier doorway, though this detail is obscured by mortar. Above this window is a stair window with a keyed round-headed surround, featuring late 19th-century coloured glass in margined lights. To the right, there is a two-storey canted bay window with a cornice and chamfered stone mullions, arranged in a 1:4:1 light configuration on each floor. The gables, which are lower over the bay window, have copings on moulded kneelers, and the end chimneys have renewed flat stone copings.
The rear elevation, facing south, has painted flat stone lintels that are pecked and margined over a central late 20th-century boarded door with a central glazed panel and a plain overlight. There are also late 20th-century plain windows with top-hung transom lights, along with a 20th-century sash window with glazing bars at the west ground floor. The windows feature painted projecting stone sills.
Inside, the house has a chamfered stone fire surround with a recessed Tudor-arched head dated 1651, located in the ground-floor west room. This room also has splayed reveals to the south window and a chamfered ceiling beam. The central narrow staircase features lower winders and has a renewed handrail and apparently renewed boarded steps.
