Description
East Benton Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century front range. It features coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and quoins, while the returns are made of sandstone rubble. The roof is covered with Welsh slate and has flat stone gable copings. The building is two storeys high and has three windows, along with a lower two-storey, two-bay wing that is set back to the left.
The main house includes a panelled doorcase with a bracketed canopy over a central five-panelled door and overlight. The wide sash windows, which have glazing bars, are adorned with stone lintels, projecting stone sills, and alternate block jambs. The double-span roof features ashlar-banded end chimneys on the steeply-pitched rear and low-pitched front ranges, while the wing has a catslide rear roof.
