East Millfield

This is a late 19th-century farmhouse and steading, likely designed by George Truefitt. The farmhouse is a single-story structure with an attic, arranged in a rectangular plan with a U-shaped steading attached.

The farmhouse's principal, or south, elevation is symmetrical, featuring a boarded timber entrance door with a letterbox fanlight and a glazed panel, flanked on either side by four-light bipartite windows. Dormer windows are present in each bay of the attic floor. The northeast elevation is asymmetrical and gabled, with three irregularly positioned ground-floor windows and a smaller window set near the gablehead. A single-story, harled addition with a boarded timber door and letterbox fanlight extends from the outer right. The northwest elevation was not visible in 1998. The southwest elevation mirrors the northeast, featuring two two-light windows on the ground floor and another window set near the gablehead, with a similar harled addition extending from the outer left, featuring a boarded timber door and letterbox fanlight. Replacement timber casement windows have been installed. The roof is rosemary tiled, with terracotta ridge tiles and diamond tiles at the rear. The building features coped rough-faced granite gablehead stacks with circular cans, and modern PVCu rainwater goods. The interior was not inspected in 1998.

The steading is a single-story U-shaped structure built in the late 19th century. It’s constructed of coursed, rough-faced granite with ladder snecks on the northwest and southwest sides, squared and snecked granite on the northeast side, and long and short dressings. The north range comprises a nine-bay, V-shaped layout. The courtyard of the north range has a two-leaf boarded timber door at the angle, a glazed two-leaf timber door leading to a tower above, and a window and boarded timber door in the two bays to the right. A gabled bay is advanced, featuring a three-light window on the ground floor, a two-light window in the attic, a doorway on the left return, and a two-leaf boarded timber door on the outer side. Another two-leaf boarded timber door is set into the gablehead of the right return with a boarded timber door in the third bay from the left, flanked by four-light bipartite windows. A two-leaf boarded timber door is flanked to the left by a larger pane window in the outer left bay; the left return is blank. The rear elevations were not visible in 1998. The southwest range is a three-bay, rectangular structure. The courtyard has a blank slate-roofed bay in the center, flanked to the left by a flat-roofed bay with a boarded timber door on the left side and a convex-shouldered fireplace on the right. The outer elevation of this range has two two-leaf boarded timber doors. The steading incorporates a variety of timber-framed glazing patterns, grey slate roofs with fishscale banding, a lead ridge, coped granite gablehead and wallhead stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Interior details were not inspected in 1998.

A battered granite rubble boundary wall with rubble coping runs along the southeast side of the farmhouse, featuring gateways to the east and west.
