East Bushton Farmhouse Including Shippon Attached At South East End

East Bushton Farmhouse, with an attached shippon, dates to the 17th century and was altered in the 19th century. The shippon was largely rebuilt during the 19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of stone rubble and cob, with the rear walls unrendered, and has an asbestos slate roof, hipped at the left end and gabled to the right. It features an axial brick stack to the cross-passage and a rendered stack with a tapered moulded cap at the right end. A corrugated iron roof covers the shippon.

The building originally comprised three rooms and a cross-passage, with a staircase at the rear of the cross-passage. In the 19th century, the lower end was divided axially into two small rooms, one to the rear serving as a dairy. The inner room was also divided into two rooms. The shippon extends from the right gable, upper end. The building is two storeys high and has a four-window front. It contains 19th and 20th-century windows of the casement type, with two panes per light. On the ground floor, there is a two-light casement to the left of a plank door to the cross-passage, and two further casements to the right of a bread-oven projection, each with six panes. A 20th-century porch and a plank inner door lead to the inner room, which has a single-storey outbuilding extending at right angles to the upper end. The shippon has loft doors over three doorways, with the centre one partially infilled. The rear cob wall of the house and shippon is continuous.

Inside, the 19th-century joinery is largely intact. The hall has no exposed ceiling beams and the original fireplace is concealed. An ovolo-moulded doorway leads to the inner room, the moulding ending above the base of the doors but without stops. The inner room has a chamfered beam and bressumer, the latter scroll-stopped to the front end. A 20th-century lintel to the fireplace obscures an earlier ovolo-moulded one. The cross-passage dog-legs up a step to the hall, with a rear doorway opposing the hall stack projection, and a thin 19th-century partition screening this exit from the hall. A 19th-century register grate is set into an inserted stack to the front room of the lower end. The roof structure consists of roughly pegged, probably 18th-century trusses with a 20th-century roof superimposed, showing no sign of smoke-blackening. A deep recess to the right of the inner room fireplace may have previously housed a secondary staircase.
