East Hole Farmhouse

East Hole Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 17th century. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a hipped thatch roof. There are brick stacks at each end and a rendered rear lateral stone rubble hall stack that has been heightened in brick. An outbuilding attached at the left end has a corrugated iron roof, hipped at the front.

The farmhouse has a three-room-and-cross-passage layout, with a straight run staircase filling the passage. The lower end parlour is located to the right, while the hall is to the left, featuring a long inner room that was probably originally a kitchen but has been divided to create a dairy between the hall and the kitchen. A passage that once connected the two rooms in front of the dairy was removed in the 20th century, and the kitchen is now used as a service room or lobby. There is a small outbuilding, likely originally a cider house, attached at right angles to the front left end, contributing to an overall L-shaped plan.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high with a three-window range. Each floor features three-light casements, with 19th-century fenestration; the leaded lights on the upper storey were replaced in the 20th century, while the ground floor has eight panes per light. The front door is from the 20th century.

Inside, the farmhouse has been mostly remodelled in the 20th century, but a 18th-century two-panelled door to a cupboard under the stairs remains. The ceiling beams were replaced in the 20th century, but the joists are likely from the 17th century. The hall fireplace lintel was also replaced in the 20th century, while the kitchen fireplace features a 19th-century chimneypiece. Thin lath and plaster partitions are present on each side of the cross-passage. The roof structure consists of straight principals with pegged lapped collars, and there is no evidence of smoke-blackening.
