Description

Russell House (East Farm) and the adjacent farm building date from the mid-18th century. The house, originally a farmhouse and hind's cottage, is rendered with a double-span roof made of pantiles and some Welsh slate. It is two storeys high with a five-bay front. The entrance door, located in the fourth bay from the left, is set under a corniced canopy supported by large stone brackets. The second bay from the left on the first floor is blank, while all the windows are 19th-century sashes set in plain reveals. The cottage on the left features a flat brick head above a tripartite sash window with glazing bars on the ground floor, a small sash window at the eaves, both with projecting stone cills, and a four-panelled door on the right. The main house has end brick chimneys, while the cottage has a hipped roof and one tall end brick chimney. To the left, there is a one-storey dairy with a small horizontal sliding sash window and a plank door. The adjacent farm building includes loose boxes, an implement storage shed, and a garage, with two segmental brick-arched openings leading to the loft.
