Eastfield House

Eastfield House is a house built around 1840 for Mrs. Shearburn. It is constructed of grey brick in Flemish bond with sandstone ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan featuring a central entrance hall on the south front and a wing to the rear right. It is two stories high with three symmetrical bays. The house has a plinth and a Tuscan porch with attached columns that support an entablature. This porch shelters a panelled door with a plain overlight, flanked by 12-pane sash windows with margin lights, wooden architraves, reveals with sills, and channelled and keyed wedge lintels. There is a first-floor sill band and smaller first-floor sashes that match the ground floor. The eaves are moulded and bracketed, and the roof is a double-span hipped design with end stacks that have ashlar coping and square pots.

Inside, the hall features a foliate relief dado, a moulded cornice with a grapevine frieze, and a moulded arch on head-corbels. A similar arch is found in the upper hall. The open well staircase has a ramped handrail and drop-on-vase balusters, with moulded cornices and warble chimney-pieces in the main rooms. There are also a pair of keyed elliptical arched alcoves in the rear right. Eastfield House is part of a series of mid-19th century suburban villas built in Snaith for the Shearburn family.
