Eastacott

Eastacott is a farmhouse built around 1830-1840, although it may have origins that are earlier. It was remodeled in the early 19th century. The structure is constructed of Flemish bond brick resting on rubble footings, with brick stacks and a slate roof. The building is L-shaped, with the gable-ended main block facing south. It features a three-room plan, with the door and stair hall located to the west (left) of the center, and a kitchen wing at the rear of the west end. There is a large lateral stack that projects from the rear of the central room, another stack at the rear of the west room, and a lateral stack serving the kitchen.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a regular four-window front, with gauged brick flat arches above all the windows. The front door, positioned left of center, has two long and two short panels with fluted borders, a beaded center line, and a cast iron knocker. Above the door is a rectangular overlight featuring a floating lozenge pattern. The doorcase is timber and approximately Doric in style, supported by two slender fluted columns on plinth blocks, with an entablature that has a cornice of exaggerated projection. All windows are tripartite sashes without horns and contain much old glass; the center sashes vary in size, with 12 panes at either end, 16 in the center, and 8 above the door. A change in brickwork at the top indicates that the eaves detail may have been altered or the roof replaced later in the 19th century. The interior was not inspected, but the layout appears to follow a traditional 16th to 17th-century design, which includes a notably large projecting lateral hall stack that seems unnecessary.
