Description
East Nettlepot Farmhouse and attached farm buildings date back to 1685, as indicated by the inscription on the door lintel, with significant alterations made around 1860 and restoration completed between 1983 and 1985. The structure is built of squared rubble and features graduated slate roofs and stone chimney stacks. It has a linear plan, consisting of a hearth-passage house flanked by attached farm buildings that create a continuous two-storey front.
The house has four irregular bays, a low plinth, flush quoins, and straight joints where it meets the farm buildings. A four-panel door is set in a narrow moulded stone doorway in the third bay, with the lintel inscribed "IDM 1685" (John and Mary Dent). The house has replaced four-pane sashes in mid-19th century openings, complete with flush lintels and sills. The eaves were raised around 1860.
To the left, the byre and loft feature flush quoins, a boarded door, and a boarded window to the right, along with a similar opening above. The barn to the right also has flush quoins and includes two Dutch doors and a boarded window to the left, three breathers, and two openings above, with the right-end opening fitted with two-leaf boarded shutters.
The building has a continuous low-pitched roof with coped gables and two rebuilt ridge stacks above the house section, which include top bands and water tables.
At the rear, the house has a low two-storey outshut with scattered 12-pane sashes and a semicircular-plan stair turret. The modernised interior retains a large square-headed fireplace in the former parlour and features a replaced two-flight dogleg staircase in the stair turret. A lean-to addition on the left return is not of special interest. The farm buildings are included for their group value.
