Description
Yatesbury House Farmhouse is a country house dating from around 1800 for the east range and about 1840 for the west range. It is constructed of brick with slate roofs. The east range features a two-storey, three-window formal front with a hipped roof, stone plinth, band, and parapet. The centre of this range projects slightly and includes a plain pediment, an open pedimented doorcase with fluted friezes on the pilasters, and a traceried fanlight. Above the door, there is a round-headed sash window with a gauged brick head. On either side, there are large added ground floor plate-glass bay windows and first-floor Venetian windows with gauged-brick heads, arranged in a 4-12-4 pane pattern.
The long west front has a hipped eaves roof and two brick ridge stacks. Although it is symmetrical, it shows two distinct phases of construction, with the centre and right side built in emphatic chequered brick, while the left side features a lighter chequer and a band of black headers. The west front includes sash windows with gauged brick flat heads. The left side has a two-storey canted bay window to the left with 8-16-8-pane sashes and tripartite sashes to the right. The central door is set in a beaded surround within an ashlar Ionic porch, featuring paired columns, a festooned frieze, and single pilaster responds. Above the door is a twelve-pane sash window, and to the right is a two-window range of tripartite sashes, with a 4-12-4-pane arrangement below and a 4-8-4-pane arrangement above.
Attached to the south end is a stable block that includes both single and two-storey sections, with the two-storey centre featuring a hipped roof and a depressed-arched entry. Inside the east range, there is a plain staircase and good plaster cornices, likely from the early 19th century, with one cornice in the southeast room retaining its original colouring. Additionally, there is an Adam-style fireplace in the northeast room.
