Description
East Stoke Farmhouse, with attached farm buildings and front boundary walling, has origins in the 17th century, with substantial remodelling in the 1860s. The facade is of stone ashlar, while the sides and rear are of coursed rubble. The roof is covered in Welsh slate with stepped coped gables, and features tall circular ashlar chimney stacks on square bases. The farmhouse is two storeys high with attics, and has four bays. It has chamfered mullioned and transomed windows with labels. There are two-light windows above and three-light windows below, with a continuous and stepped label above the windows and an arched label above the doorway in the lower bay of the second bay, incorporating a pair of toplights. The gables are coped and topped with obelisk finials, with a larger one above the third bay, which also features a small rectangular window and a plaque with a circular wreath and a tile insert displaying a black dragon crest. A lean-to extension is visible at the rear. The interior is not accessible but is reported to include a doorway dated 1698.
Attached to the west gable is a long crosswing that projects to the front and rear. It is mostly single-storey with a loft door in the south gable, with a further extension to the west accommodating various farm uses. The boundary walling, likely from the 18th century, is attached to the south-east corner of the crosswing and returns to the south-east corner of the house. The walling is constructed of ashlar with thin coping and sweeps up to ball finials opposite the house doorway. An early 16th-century iron gate is also present, all contributing to the overall setting of the farm complex.
