East Farmhouse

East Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is timber framed with plaster and painted brick infill, topped by a graded slate roof. The building has a T-plan layout, featuring a two-bay gabled cross-wing that projects to the left. It stands two storeys tall, with an attic in the cross-wing. The framing includes close studding below the girding beam and three square panels above the wall-plate, which is more irregular in the hall range. V-struts extend from the collars to the cross-wing.

A later two-storey gabled porch has been added to the hall range, with the date "RLI/1677" carved on the gabled hood above the door. The porch also features carved splat baluster decoration and a moulded bressumer at the gable. The right gable end of the hall range is clad in 18th-century red brick, which is now painted, and includes a toothed floor band and a blind lozenge-shaped opening in the gable. The fenestration is irregular, with small mid-19th century casements on each floor to the left and right of the porch and on each floor of the cross-wing.

There is a large external lateral red brick stack with a shaft that was rebuilt in 20th-century brick on the cross-wing, as well as a similar integral stack on the back wall of the hall range, which has a painted rubblestone lean-to abutting it. This lean-to includes a brick bread oven projection.

Inside, the timber frame remains intact throughout, featuring square panels and close studding. The main ground-floor room of the hall range has a deep-chamfered cross beam ceiling with heavy joists, and the upstairs rooms have further deep-chamfered ceiling beams with straight-cut stops. A late 17th-century newel staircase with a moulded handrail, pointed finials, and knobs leads to the attic. Several 17th-century plank doors with fleur-de-lys strap hinges are present, along with a massive plank and muntin front door that has decorated strap hinges. The inglenook fireplaces are partly infilled and feature chamfered wooden lintels. The roof of the cross-wing is of the standard 17th-century collar and tie beam type. A brick-lined cellar includes a partition wall with close-set vertical posts. East Farmhouse is listed as Grade II* for being a complete example of a substantial 17th-century farmhouse that retains several original internal features.
