Eastbrook Hay Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Eastbrook Hay Farmhouse and the attached barn is a farmhouse and barn complex, likely from the 17th century, with the brick casing and rear wing dating from the 18th or early 19th century. The barn is a 17th-century structure. The farmhouse features red brick encasing a timber frame, steep old red tile roofs, and a hipped rear wing. It is a long, two-storey building with three cells, facing south, and includes a single-storey brick and tile scullery at the west end that connects to a tall, two-bay barn with double doors on the west side.

The farmhouse has three windows on each floor and a gabled porch located a third of the way from the west end. The ground floor windows have segmental arches, a stucco plinth, and a corbelled eaves course. There are four-light, 19th-century casement windows to the right of the porch, with three-light windows above them, and a combination of two-light and three-light windows to the left of the porch. A very large external rear wall chimney serves the hall in the middle of the block, featuring an axial chamfered and hollow stopped beam and an inglenook with two small windows. There are external gable chimneys for the parlour on the east side and the kitchen on the west side.

At the rear of the parlour, there is a two-storey hipped wing that is accessed by a passage off the hall. Inside, the property has exposed posts and a tie-beam at the upper landing of the stair, chamfered axial beams, a boarded floor, and a panelled dado in the parlour. The dairy contains a re-used double-ovolo moulded axial beam from the mid-17th century. The hall fireplace features a fine cast iron figured fireback and a cast iron kettle crane.
