Description
Recorded on 1805 estate plan by John Bell when it was owned by Major William Augustus Blakeney. The plan shows buildings arranged around the NE and SW sides of a square farmyard. On Greenwood's 1820 map it was labelled 'Usworth Red House'. By 1849 the owner of East House was William Russell and occupied by J Johnson Kirton. The house recorded in 1840 is a square building and is probably the earliest depiction of the present house. The extant building is of stone with a hipped pantile roof with substantial alterations. Majority of surrounding buildings constructed late 19th and early 20th century have since been demolished.
