Description
Eastfield House is a house built in the early 19th century and enlarged in the mid to late 19th century. It features roughcast over rubble, with exposed quoins, a string course, and a hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves and shaped brackets. The hipped wings have lead sheeting, and there are large rendered stacks on the southeast kitchen wing. The house is arranged in a U-shape facing north, with the entrance on the west front and service wings at the rear linked by a wall.
The west front has two storeys and consists of two bays on the left and one bay on the right. It includes 16-pane sash windows with cambered heads on the left and a blocked opening on the right in the lower independently roofed service wing. There is a 16-pane sash window on the left in a flat-roofed single-storey canted bay, with blind boxes, and a 12-pane sash window on the right. The central porch has an almost flat roof and features a carved wooden cornice, with the entrance on the right return leading to a partially glazed door and an early 19th-century inner half-glazed door with many glazing bars.
The unbalanced design of the west front and the evidence that the kitchen wing is a later addition suggest that construction may have been interrupted and then resumed after a time lapse. It has been suggested that this house served as the dower house to Orchard Wyndham, which could explain why the original intended occupant's death may have led to an abrupt halt in the first phase of building.
