Eastern Town Farmhouse

Eastern Town Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It features rendered cob and rubble walls and a hipped concrete tile roof. The building has two brick stacks, one at the left-hand end and one axial. The layout consists of a three-room-and-through-passage plan, with the lower end on the left. The hall stack is positioned against the passage, and the lower room may have been extended with its stack added in the 18th century. The inner room stack is also likely a later addition. A small wing was added behind the left-hand end in the 19th century, along with a 19th or 20th-century outshut along the rear wall of the hall and passage.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front, where the left-hand end is recessed. All windows are 19th-century three-light casements with pin hinges, except for the first-floor left-hand window and the one to the left of the porch on the ground floor, which are two-light casements from the 20th century. There is a 20th-century lean-to porch to the left of centre with a plank door behind it.

Inside, the hall features an open fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel that has straight cut stops, and an oven on the left side. There is a chamfered unstopped ceiling beam. The lower room has a large fireplace with a rough wooden lintel, while the inner room contains a similar but smaller fireplace. The first-floor landing has balusters with an 18th-century heavy turned newel post topped with a ball finial, which is likely reused. The feet of insubstantial straight principals are visible on the first floor, indicating that the roof trusses are not earlier than the 19th century. Although the house has relatively few original features, it retains its original plan form and an unusually complete facade of 19th-century casements.
