Description

East Hartford Farmhouse, with an adjacent outbuilding to the east, is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with an 18th-century outshut. The building was restored, with a porch added and the outshut heightened in the mid-19th century. The outbuilding is likely from the 18th century. The farmhouse is constructed of rubble with roughly-shaped quoins and cut dressings, topped with Welsh slate roofs. It has two storeys plus attics and features two bays.

The central gabled porch has a re-set two-light mullioned window beneath a straight hoodmould, and a vertical panelled door on the right side. Above the porch is an oval window with radial glazing in a moulded surround. The flanking bays contain three-light mullioned windows, mostly with small-paned casements, on the ground and first floors, and two-light attic windows in gabled dormers, all under straight hoodmoulds. The porch, end gables, and dormers are all coped on moulded kneelers, with stepped-and-corniced end stacks.

The left side of the building shows blocked chamfered windows on the ground and first floors, and a 12-pane Yorkshire sash on the first floor of the outshut. The right side features a blocked chamfered window above the outbuilding roof. The outbuilding has raised reverse-stepped gable coping on the right and an attached pent privy with a boarded door and small window on the far right. The rear elevation of the house has a boarded door and 16- and 12-pane Yorkshire sashes.

Inside, the original front doorway within the porch has a flat-pointed arch in a moulded frame, also under a straight hoodmould. A similar arch is found at the parlour fireplace. This farmhouse is an unusual example of a Jacobean style in Northumberland, with cut dressings largely renewed in the 19th century, likely done correctly, although the three-light windows may have been heightened.
