Eastagte House

Eastgate House is a house dating back to the 15th century, with significant additions and alterations in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Originally three bays, a cross wing was added in the 16th or 17th century, and an 18th-century barn range was added to the rear. The house is timber-framed with mostly renewed 20th-century brick infill, along with some herringbone brick panels; it has a rubble stone plinth and a pier below the second cruck truss. The roof is tiled, previously thatched, with a brick chimney in the centre of the cross wing.

The house is 1½ storeys high with a taller cross wing and has four main bays, the left-hand bay being gabled, with an additional half-bay to the left. The gabled bay has 20th-century three-light casement windows and a 20th-century door with a board hood supported by shaped brackets. The 15th-century bays have irregular single- and two-light casement windows, and garage doors in the right bay. The right gable displays one exposed cruck blade, the other being missing. Three other cruck trusses are inside, the second having one arched brace to the collar. The cruck bays retain original purlins and curved wind-braces.

The cross wing contains a large central chimney stack and stop-chamfered spine beams with some original joists. The rear barn range is timber-framed with brick infill (formerly weatherboarded) and features curved braces to tie beams under the roof.
