Description

Eglos Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the mid-19th century. It features walls made of killas rubble with granite and brick dressings, topped by a grouted scantle slate roof that has brick chimneys at the gable ends. There are two chimneys on the left side, one on the front, and one behind the ridge, along with one chimney on the right in front of the ridge. The farmhouse has cast-iron ogee-section gutters.

The building has a double-depth plan with two rooms at the front flanking an entrance hall, which likely leads to a stair hall between the rear service rooms. The left-hand room at the front is wider and is probably used as the kitchen or living room. The exterior is two storeys high and features a nearly symmetrical three-window front facing south-south-east, with a doorway located to the right of the middle, central to the windows. Granite lintels are present over the ground floor openings, while shallow brick arches are found over the first-floor window openings. There is a 20th-century porch in front of the doorway, and original 12-pane hornless sash windows are present, including at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
