Description
East Stonehouse is a farmhouse, now a house, likely built in the late 17th century, with alterations and expansions made in the 19th century and further modifications since. The structure is made of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, including a 19th-century addition at the west end that features a gabled front painted white. It has a stone slate roof and a single-depth, two-unit plan, plus a one-unit addition to the west end, with outbuildings extending at the east end. The gable faces the road.
On the exterior, the north front has a rubble plinth at the older section, with two large quoin-stones at the junction with the right-side addition. There is an ex-situ round-headed window next to these quoins, which was recently inserted using original stones found in a nearby field. To the left, there is a square-headed doorway with a massive monolith lintel and an old board door. A three-light chamfered mullion window is located to the left of this doorway, with a rectangular window above it on the first floor, mirroring the layout below. An altered farm building is attached to the east end, and there are chimneys at both junctions where the former gables were located.
The rear (south front) features massive quoins reaching two-thirds of the height at the junction with the addition, a round-headed one-light fire-window nearby, and a 16-pane hornless sashed window to the right, with another similar window above it. To the right, there is a square two-light casement on the ground floor and a smaller 16-pane hornless sash above that. The gabled west front of the 19th-century portion has a doorway to the right, one window to the left, and two windows above, all with altered glazing.
Inside, the house part in the west bay has a chamfered bressumer beam with stop-chamfered bearers, a large 18th-century stone fireplace with a moulded surround and a corbelled lintel featuring a fan-shaped false key. There is a stone partition at the lower end, which contains a former parlour with scored ceiling joists and an 18th-century stone fireplace. The principal-rafter roof truss is massive, with principals that are half-lapped and pegged at the apex, although it now lacks a tie-beam. The 19th-century addition features a Dent marble fireplace.
