Description
East Bearford Farmhouse is a two-storey, three-bay, L-plan farmhouse built around 1840, located on flat farmland to the east of Haddington. The symmetrical entrance elevation faces north and features a gabled entrance porch adorned with decorative stone skewputts and margins, bi-fold timber entrance doors, and a fanlight. The house has ashlar dressings, margins, and window surrounds, although it is partially covered with 20th century pebble dashed rendering. The rear section of the farmhouse was raised to two storeys in the early 20th century and is slightly lower than the main square plan section of the house.
A rubble wall encloses the garden to the south and west, with a broken section on the south side that was noted in 2015. The windows are timber sash and case with 12-pane glazing, while the first floor windows of the rear section are bipartite and later additions. The roof is piended and covered with grey slate, featuring corniced ashlar and rendered chimney stacks.
The interior was observed in 2015 and retains much of its original 19th century layout, with some early 20th century modifications in the rear wing. Inside, there is a central entrance hall with a turned stone main stair that has cast iron bannisters and a timber handrail. Most principal rooms have timber and cast iron fire surrounds that are contemporary with the building, along with 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, now featuring a secondary timber service stair leading to a single upper floor room, which includes timber detailing from that period.
