Description
Yeorton Farmhouse is a house, now divided into two houses, dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of stuccoed stone and has a slate roof. The south-west elevation features two storeys and seven bays, with the end bays being wider and a central entrance plan. The building has quoin strips and a top cornice, with coped gables and kneelers.
The ground floor displays varied fenestration, with the end bays having square windows fitted with 20th-century plastic small-paned casements. The third bay has a similar larger window, while the fifth bay features a sashed window with glazing bars. On the first floor, there are tall windows with moulded reveals; the first four have 20th-century small-paned plastic casements, the fifth bay has a blind window with a dummy sash, the sixth bay has a 12-paned sash, and the seventh bay has a 24-pane sash.
The central round-headed entrance is adorned with an archivolt and triple key, framed by a Doric aedicule with fluted flat pilasters, a Doric frieze, and a broken pediment topped with an urn. There is a plain entrance to the first bay and a late 20th-century conservatory. The building has gable-end stacks and two cross-axial stacks with cornices.
The north-east elevation consists of five irregular bays. The ground floor includes three 20th-century casements, one earlier two-light casement, and a small light. There are entrances to the first bay, and the entrance to the third bay shows signs of a former first-floor bridge to rear service ranges that were demolished in 1988. The first-floor windows have moulded reveals; the first bay features 24-pane fixed glazing, the second bay has an 18-pane sash with thick glazing bars, and the fourth and fifth bays, along with a window in the former third bay entrance, have 20th-century plastic small-paned glazing.
