Description

The farmbuildings at East House Farm were constructed in 1808 for G. and R. Turnbull and later remodelled in 1879 for William Crossman, when the south range was altered and the yard was roofed over. The buildings are made of rubble with dressings and feature Welsh slate roofs, while the west range has a pantiled roof. The layout is square, with the west and north ranges being two storeys high, while the other sections are single-storey.

A central high round-arched carriage entrance is flanked by a triangular dovecote screen in the gable above, which features a shield inscribed with "WC 1879." The tall range to the left includes a blacksmith-type window and a boarded door on the ground floor, with a pitching door on the first floor that has a lintel inscribed "G & R T 1808." The right return has five stable-type doors and a five-bay cartshed with segmental arches. Above this range, three parallel hipped roofs were added when the yard was covered in 1879 to create covered cattle pens. Inside the yard, there are impressive queen-post roofs along with original wooden pens and feeding baskets.
