Description
Ew'r-Esgob Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 14th or 15th century and was remodeled in the late 18th century, with later additions and alterations. The building features a cruck frame, with the front and back walls and the right gable end rebuilt in painted and rendered brick, topped with a graded slate roof. The original layout was likely an open-hall house consisting of three framed bays, which was later converted into a three-unit baffle type with raised eaves in the late 18th century.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a dentilled eaves cornice. It includes late 19th and 20th-century casement windows, with two on the left and one on the right of the entrance, and the first-floor windows are positioned directly below the eaves. There is a 20th-century nail-studded plank door beneath a contemporary open gabled porch, and a prominent 19th-century red brick axial ridge stack directly above. The right gable end features pigeon nesting holes and ledges. To the left gable end, there is a lower 19th-century dairy that incorporates part of an earlier brick outbuilding. The interior could be of interest, but it was not possible to inspect it during the resurvey in April 1986.
