East Farmhouse

East Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse with 19th-century additions, located in Stoke St Milborough. The construction is primarily of coursed stone rubble, with brick, painted timber-frame and brick infill, and roofs covered in plain tiles. The building has a cross-shaped plan, consisting of a three-bay main range and opposing cross wings.

The exterior features a central ridge stack with star-shaped brick shafts and a 19th-century cap, along with an integral stone gable-end stack with an upper brick shaft and an integral brick chimney at the eaves of a cross wing. The front elevation presents a two-window range to the right, with a projecting cross wing gable masking the main range to the centre left. A square framing is visible with a high-tension brace to the extreme left. Restored timber, two-mullion and transom windows with 19th-century metal lights are present, with a ground-floor window to the right blocked and replaced with a 19th-century two-light casement. A central, plain boarded entrance door stands within a restored double-ovolo-moulded frame, and there are plain hoodmoulds over the openings. The cross wing gable at ground floor has a restored, ovolo-chamfered three-mullion and transom window with metal multi-pane casements and a brick segmental arch. A rebuilt brick return wall to the right has a first-floor two-light cross casement, while the left return displays a tiled outshut with a plain boarded door. The gable head on the left return has been rebuilt in brick, with a 2-light casement at first floor and a 20th-century casement at ground floor. The right gable-end return is masked at ground level by a tile-roofed outshut.

The rear of the farmhouse features a two-window range to the left, with a projecting 19th-century cross wing gable masking the main range to the centre right. A mid-19th century rebuilt brick wall to the right contains vestiges of timber framing and a 20th-century ground-floor casement. The two-window range possesses ground-floor timber mullion and transom windows with plain stone hoodmoulds and metal multi-pane casements, flanking a plain doorway with a 20th-century hipped tile-roofed porch. One similar first-floor window is flanked by blocked former dovecote holes and ledges. The cross wing gable has 20th-century casements to all three sides, with a flat stone lintel at first floor and a brick segmental arch to ground floor.

The interior includes chamfered bridging beams, with a beaded ovolo moulding in the central bay, exhibiting unusual ogee-profiled ovolo chamfer-stops. The west bay features a plain chamfered bridging beam with an ogee stop-chamfer.
