East Bearford Farmhouse, Haddington

A circa 1840, 2-storey, 3-bay, L-plan farmhouse sited on level farmland to the east of Haddington. The entrance (north) elevation is symmetrical and has a gabled entrance porch with decorative stone skewputts and margins, bi-fold timber entrance doors and a fanlight. There are ashlar dressings, margins and window surrounds with 20th century pebble dashed rendering. The rear section was raised to two storeys in the earlier 20th century and is slightly lower than the main square plan section of the house.

There is a rubble wall enclosing the garden to the south and west (broken section to the south side, 2015).

There is 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. The first floor windows of the rear section are later and bipartite. There is a piended grey slate roof with corniced ashlar and rendered chimney stacks.

The interior was seen in 2015 and the internal 19th century plan form remains largely intact with some early 20th century remodelling to the rear wing. There is a central entrance hall with a turned stone main stair with cast iron bannisters and a timber handrail. There are timber and cast iron fire surrounds to most of the principal rooms contemporary with the building as well as some plaster cornicing, timber panelled shutters, doors and moulded architraves. The interior of the rear ancillary wing was altered when it was raised to two storeys, and has a secondary timber service stair to a single room to the upper floor with timber detailing from that date.
