Description
The farm buildings to the west of Eastwood Hall consist of a collection of structures surrounding a foldyard. The east range, which likely includes a smithy, dates from the late 17th century, while the barn in the west range was built in the later 18th century, with other parts constructed in the 19th century. The buildings are made of coursed rubble; the east range features roughly-shaped quoins and cut dressings, while the other sections have cut quoins and dressings. The roofs are primarily covered with stone slates, except for the east range, which has Lakeland slates with stone slates at the eaves.
The east range has two storeys and three irregular bays on its east elevation. It includes a boarded door and three blocked doorways on the ground floor, a boarded loft door in a stone surround, and three small segmental-headed windows in keyed stone surrounds. The north end features a large projecting stack, while the south end has a 19th-century pent cartshed with two part-blocked elliptical arches. The west elevation facing the foldyard displays another segmental-headed window.
The north range is a four-bay shelter shed with an elliptical-arched arcade leading to the yard, and one similar arch at the rear.
The barn in the west range has a stable door framed in an alternating-block surround and a pitching door to the left. To the left of this, a lower stable features a stable door between inserted windows. The rear of the barn has a similar doorway and two tiers of slit vents, now located inside the wheelhouse.
The wheelhouse, located to the west of the barn, includes a cart entrance beneath a timber lintel on the south side, a gabled west elevation with a small window, and a buttress with a blocked doorway to the left on the north side.
There are 20th-century wooden outbuildings and an altered stable adjoining the north end of the barn, which are not of special interest.
