Eastcott Manor

Eastcott Manor is a farmhouse dating from around 1600, with later additions in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of colourwashed stone, with brick extensions, and features plain and pantiled roofs. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. The main range consists of three bays, originally a single storey and attic, which was raised to two storeys. The northern half bay contains a large fireplace. A cross wing was added in the late 17th century to the south, featuring two bays with stone construction and a close studded framed upper floor. A second cross wing was added to the east side in the late 17th to early 18th century, and a third cross wing was added to the west side of the north end in the first half of the 18th century.

The original structure has a central entrance with a 19th-century lean-to porch and timber windows. The south cross wing has closely spaced 12-paned sash windows and 24-paned sash windows on the east gable. The studding features a central rail and wavy corner braces. The east cross wing contains 18th-century paned sashes, a blocked bolection moulded doorway to the gable, and a lean-to service room on the north side. The north cross wing from the 18th century has a plat band and stone framed and mullioned windows, though the fenestration has been altered. The main range has a major stack at the north end, a lateral stack for the 17th-century wing, and various later chimneys.

Inside, the main range features deeply chamfered cross and spine beams with elaborate chamfer stops. The fireplace has been altered but originally included two large ovens or smoke chambers. At the south end, there is a fine 17th-century oak dog leg stair with barley-sugar balusters and a heavy handrail, likely added when the first cross wing was built. The hall containing the stair has early 18th-century painted panelling, which extends into the parlours of the cross wings, now subdivided. The drawing room in the west bay of the south cross wing has an 18th-century chimneypiece with marble slips. The north cross wing is said to have a good roof, which has not been seen, and a former dovecote on the upper floor.
