Description

East Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1678, marked with "W,W", and features 19th and 20th-century additions and alterations. It is constructed from coursed squared stone and coursed rubble, with roofs of artificial slate and pantiles. The building has a through-passage plan and stands two storeys high with three bays, plus a single-storey bay added to the left.

The north front, facing the road, has a plinth and quoins. The left bay of the 17th-century range has been rebuilt in coursed rubble, and from it projects a range that is not of special interest. The entrance features a door with six raised panels set in a moulded, quoined, elliptical-arched doorway that includes a keystone and a monolithic lintel, on which a date panel is raised. To the left of the door, on each floor, there is a blocked single-light recessed, chamfered window. To the right, on each floor, there are similar 3- or 4-light windows, now fitted with 3-light, 18-pane, side-sliding sashes, each having a stone lintel and a projecting cill. The roof has shaped kneelers and ashlar coping, with the 17th-century range covered in artificial slate and the added bay in pantiles.

The chimney stacks are located at the ends of the main range and the added bay, with the right-hand stack being external, featuring offsets and a cornice, and the top rebuilt in brick in the 20th century. At the rear, the 17th-century range has a plinth and quoins, with a six-panel door leading to the through-passage, set in a chamfered, quoined, Tudor-arched surround. Above this door is a 3-light recessed chamfered mullioned window, with leaded glazing in one light and one light blocked. Similar windows are found on either side on each floor, all altered to now feature side-sliding sashes, with the ground floor having three lights and the first floor having two and four lights, the former being in the surround of a two-light original window. To the left of the door on the first floor, there is the end of an iron tie-rod. The added bay, set back on the right, has quoins on the right side and a board door to the left of a window, both with stone lintels.

On the right return, there are two small lights in the gable, and the chimney coping has nail-head decoration at the head, sitting in a slot in the kneeler. The left return features a small first-floor light on the right. Inside, the only remaining features of interest are some principal rafters and purlins in the roof.
