Description

The farmhouse at Lower Eashing has a core dating to the 16th century, with a significant early 18th-century extension to the front and a further L-shaped wing added in the early 19th century. More recent 20th-century extensions are present to the rear right. The building is timber-framed with colourwashed brick infill to the rear range, while the front and side are constructed of colourwashed or pebbledashed Bargate stone. The roofs are tiled, and three brick chimneystacks are visible.

The early 18th-century front range is two storeys high, characterized by a brick dentilled eaves cornice and a central brick chimney stack. It features 20th-century casement windows within original openings; the first-floor windows are 2-light and 3-light, and the ground floor windows are 3-light with cambered heads. A central brick gabled porch with a half-glazed door in a panelled reveal is also present. The early 19th-century L-wing, built of Bargate stone with red brick dressings, incorporates a hipped roof with a central chimney stack and 19th-century casement windows with cambered heads on the ground floor.

The northwest range represents the original 16th-century section, displaying a timber frame visible to the west with a slightly curved windbrace and a half-hipped tiled roof with a chimney stack to the south wall. A catslide roof, weatherboarded and featuring a single gabled dormer, extends north. The range has a casement window to the first floor and two casements to the ground floor, with a wooden pedimented doorcase including brackets.

Inside the core 16th-century wing, the timber frame is exposed, revealing chamfered spine beams and floor joists. Original features include a ledged door with pintle hinges and latch, a further plank door, and the roof structure with side purlins, collar beam, and rafters. The south range contains an early 19th century staircase with column newels and two stick balusters to each tread. Two rooms feature inserted fireplaces of 18th-century style.
