Esgobty Farmhouse

Esgobty Farmhouse is a symmetrical, two-storey building from the early 18th century, featuring a three-window facade made of mainly English bond brick with a band course. The roof is slate, with brick end stacks and stone gable parapets that include quarter round kneelers. The first floor has nine-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has twelve-pane sash windows, both with voussoirs. The central entrance is adorned with a bracketed shell hood, a three-pane fanlight, and a fielded six-panel door that has two glazed panels.

The left gable end has a rubble ground floor with a brace plate, and there is a modern casement window at the rear left above a sliding sash window with cambered voussoirs. The slightly higher two-window short arm of the T-plan, dating from the early to mid-18th century, is encased in brick and features a plinth and similar detailing. The southeast end is slightly broader and includes a stairwell. An attic dormer has sash windows, and there is a wraparound brick band below the eaves and around the advanced chimney breast at the rear gable end, which has sash windows only on the right side. The north side features cambered voussoirs with one blocked window, while the rear right has one first-floor sliding sash window. There is also a lean-to and a modern extension on the right gable end, which has a stone chimney breast and a blocked two-light timber frame window.

The front garden is enclosed by a brick wall with entrance gate piers, and at the southwest end, there is a brick outbuilding with a pyramidal roof.

Inside, the farmhouse retains significant contemporary details, including timber-framed partition walls and some reused timbers. The interior features stop-chamfered beams and a fireplace lintel in the parlour that has a relocated bread oven door, as well as one roof-moulded beam. The entrance hall has stone flags and fielded panel doors, and an arch leading to the stairwell is framed by an architrave made from reused pieces of moulding, likely from a cornice. The early 18th-century dog-leg staircase has turned balusters, a square newel, and an incised handrail. The ground floor in the cross range to the rear was once wainscoted; this panelling was purchased in 1937 by the National Museum of Wales for £105 and is now in the Welsh Folk Museum. The roof trusses are slightly narrower than the current building.
