Description
Eastbrook Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of plastered stone rubble, possibly with cob, and features a stone rubble stack and chimney shaft that have been extended with 20th-century brick. The roof is covered with concrete tiles, though it was originally thatched.
The farmhouse has a three-room plan and faces southeast. The small room on the left end is unheated and may have originally served as a dairy; it has since been converted into an entrance hall that includes the main staircase. An axial stack, which serves back-to-back fireplaces, is located between the two main rooms. The center room was likely the original kitchen, while the right end room served as the parlour. There is a lobby entrance in front of the stack. The main house is two storeys high, with a two-storey 20th-century extension at the rear of the right room.
The exterior features an irregular five-window front with early 20th-century casements that have glazing bars. The main front doorway is situated to the right of center and contains a 20th-century door behind a contemporary gabled porch. There is also a secondary doorway at the left end, which has a 20th-century door behind a contemporary porch. The plaster on the front is incised to resemble ashlar, and the roof is gable-ended. At the rear, the roof extends over early outshots, and there is a 17th-century oak four-light window with chamfered mullions.
The interior was only partially inspected during the survey. The center room features a soffit-chamfered crossbeam with pyramid stops, while the crossbeam in the right room has rough soffit-chamfers. Both fireplaces are blocked by 20th-century grates, and the roof was not inspected. Although the house underwent modernization in the early 20th century, the changes appear to have been superficial.
