Description
Eastcott, including the adjoining shippon, is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century or earlier. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a slate roof featuring gabled ends. The left-hand (west) end of the building is higher, and it appears to have a three-room layout with a through-passage at the upper end of the central room. There is a two-storeyed porch and an outshut at the rear of the upper end, with the shippon attached to the lower end, forming a long range. The building is two storeys high and has a four-window range, with 19th-century two and three-light casements that lack glazing bars.
To the left of the centre, there is a gabled two-storeyed porch, and small stair windows are located in the internal stair turret at the angle. An axial stack is positioned at the ridge, backing onto the through passage, with a ridge stack between the lower rooms and an end stack at the higher gable end. Inside, there are closely spaced, roughly hewn ceiling beams at both the upper and lower ends. The axial stack backs onto the through passage and features a large fireplace in the upper room, complete with stone jambs and a chamfered wooden lintel. The roof includes collars that are pegged to halved principals, although the roof over the upper end has been replaced. Some early 18th-century panelled doors can be found inside. The outshut at the upper end also has closely spaced ceiling beams.
The adjoining shippon at the lower (east) end is constructed of cob and has a corrugated iron roof with gabled ends, along with external stone stairs leading to a loft door. There is a small single-light moulded wooden window frame on the south side of the shippon, and its roof dates from the 20th century.
