East Graylake Farmhouse.
Farmhouse. Seventeenth century or earlier origins with circa mid/late 19th century alterations. Stone rubble and cob with brick dressings to the windows; bitumen-painted slate roof, gabled at ends; projecting right end stack, rear lateral stack with a tall stone rubble shaft.
Plan: Details unclear at time of survey (1988) as interior not inspected. A single depth range, 3 rooms wide with an entrance to right of centre into a passage containing the stair. It is likely that the lower end is the right hand room, the higher end, to the left, consisting of the hall, heated by a rear lateral stack, and an unheated inner room at the extreme left. The house has been refenestrated in the 19th century.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front with a 20th century gabled porch to right of centre and a 20th century single storey addition at the left on the front, forming a porch to a door into the left hand room. Set of mid/late 19th century plate glass 4 pane sashes with brick surrounds.
Interior: Not inspected at time of survey (1988) but said to retain chamfered crossbeams and may have other features of interest. Other details: LBS Number 91880.

Notification that East Graylake Farmhouse has been removed from the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest for the following principal reasons.
* The considerable degree of alteration has led to the loss of the majority of historic fabric.
* The roof and significant portions of the external walls were rebuilt in the 20th century.
* The plan-form, although still readable, has been significantly compromised by the relocation of the staircase, the conversaion of external door openings to windows and erection of a two storey extension to the rear.
