Description:
East Farmhouse sits behind a prominent stone boundary wall and a large garden. A large sandstone house with sash windows with exposed weight boxes, slate roof and stone watertabling. It has two well-mannered extensions - a small garage to the west in stone rubble and handmade brick, and a larger single-storey one with a hipped pitched slate roof. The ground floor of this offshot is stone, the first floor is in handmade brick in English garden wall bond. It includes a first floor stone window lintel dated 1865. The house has good conservation-style rooflights on the rear roof slope, but some rear replacement windows are fake sash top hung casements which visually jar against the finer original ones.
