Description
Esgairgeiliog Hall is a north-facing building featuring a front range with gabled outer bays, an outshot at the rear, a gabled projection at the southeast, and a lean-to adjacent to the southwest angle. The roof is slate, hipped over the east bay and at the rear behind the west bay, with two skylights in the rear slope. A central brick stack is present, along with a single roof dormer on the front that has a multi-pane casement window.
The front of the hall is timber framed in square panels, with diagonal braces in the east bay, although some of the framing has been replaced with brick painted black to imitate timber. The stone platform supports the structure. The brick nogging is painted white, with some breeze block infill, and possibly two original panels featuring wattle and daub. The west bay showcases a combination of cusped quatrefoil panels and close studding, along with a casement window. A jettied collar beam has a moulded soffit supported by four moulded brackets. The east bay contains multi-pane casements on both the upper and lower storeys. A 20th-century porch obscures an inscription above the door, which is a four-panel design with an overlight. To the left of the porch is another multi-pane casement.
The west wall is partly timber framed with brick nogging and partly rebuilt as a battered brick wall, also painted black to imitate timber. The east wall has been rebuilt in random rubble, with an external stack that has been rebuilt in brick above the roofline. The remainder of the east wing is weatherboarded on a roughcast stone base. The rear outshot is constructed of random rubble, painted white, and features a catslide roof. The lean-to at the southwest angle is made of random rubble with a corrugated metal roof and a slate-hung wall above.
The interior follows a lobby entry plan, with a central stack, two parlours at the west end, and a large room at the east end. The canopy over the fireplace is timber framed with plaster infill, constructed against one of the two surviving cruck trusses. The other freestanding truss is arch-braced with two cusped raking struts. A quarter-turn stair beside the fireplace has the lower four treads made of original oak. There is a single ogee doorhead on the first floor, and a cellar with a well that is now covered over.
