Description

Eastfield is a farmhouse dating from the 15th to early 17th century, featuring a combination of timber-frame and painted brick construction. The timber-frame is exposed on the crosswing, while the main range is clad in brick from the 19th century. The building has plain tile roofs, with a stack at the east end of the crosswing and another on the south end of the main range. It stands two and a half storeys tall.

The tall north end crosswing showcases exposed framing with angle braces on the upper floors of the west front and north gable. The west front also features herring-bone brick panels, original carved barge boards, and a pendant finial. Both fronts include a 2-light timber-mullion attic window and a small 1:2:1-light timber oriel on a curved bracket with a tiled pent roof. The ground floor of the west front retains original rubble stone with a 4-light casement and timber lintel, while the ground floor on the north side has been rebuilt in 19th-century brick with a cambered-head triple casement. The main range has a 19th-century two-storey front with two first-floor 16-pane sashes, one similar to the ground floor center, and a plank door by the crosswing in a gabled tiled porch.

Inside, the main range features heavy chamfered beams in the compartmental ceiling. The crosswing's ground floor has chamfered beams with bar stops. The main range also has a smoke blackened roof from its former open-hall, which was floored in the 16th century, while the crosswing was rebuilt in the 17th century. The farmhouse was formerly known as End Farmhouse.
