Escomb Farmhouse

Escomb Farmhouse is a farmhouse and cottage dating from the 17th century and mid 18th century, likely incorporating earlier materials. It is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dressings and features pantiled roofs, with stone slates at the eaves and rendered chimneys. The farmhouse is two storeys high with two windows, a right extension, and a full-width offshut at the rear. The attached cottage to the left is two lower storeys with two windows.

The exterior of the farmhouse includes a central six-panel door with a semicircular overlight set in roughly rendered jambs and arch. There are 16-pane sash windows in plain stone surrounds, and a small blocked rectangular light on the first floor to the right of centre. The roof has stone gable copings, swept eaves, and end chimneys, with the right chimney featuring an external stack. The cottage, which may have originally served as a dairy, has a central boarded door beneath a flat stone lintel, and a wide window to the right with a projecting brick sill and glazing bars in three lights under a shallow segmental arch made of two rows of bricks. The first-floor two-light windows also have similar sills, with a mullion and transom on the left and glazing bars on the right, positioned under the eaves. The right return of the building shows skew stones in the rear offshut.

Inside, there is an early 19th-century dogleg stair in the offshut that runs parallel to the rear wall, leading to a short passage to the first-floor rooms. The interior features six-panel doors, and the ground-floor room on the right is said to have an older fire arch that is now blocked, with an early 20th-century fireplace inserted.
