Escott Farmhouse

Escott Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the early 18th century and late 20th century. It is constructed of roughcast rubble and has an asbestos slate roof, with roughcast stacks at the gable ends, including an external stack on the right. The building's plan is not entirely clear without an internal inspection, but it appears to consist of an early 18th century two-cell and cross passage addition that fronts a 17th century range, which includes a stair turret; part of this range was demolished in the mid-20th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three bays with irregularly placed fenestration. It features all 20th century two-light casements, with two on the left and one on the right of the central entrance, which has a 20th century door. An early 18th century shell hood porch supported by cast iron columns is located above the entrance. The rear elevation has a ground floor obscured by a corrugated iron roofed outshut of uncertain date, which covers a three-light ashlar ovolo moulded mullioned window on the left. The right gable end stair turret has two ovolo moulded mullioned windows, all under hoodmoulds, and there is a tiny 20th century glazed opening to the right. The right end bay projects with a gabled wing. The interior has not been seen. A concrete path leading to the entrance is said to conceal a patterned pebble pavement with a date. This farmhouse was home to the prominent local Escott family, whose tombs are located in the churchyard of the Church of St John the Baptist in Carhampton.
