Description
Selaby Home Farmhouse and the wall attached to the east are a mid-18th century farmhouse with towers added around 1830. The building is made of limewashed hammer-dressed sandstone with dressed quoins and has renewed pantiled roofs with brick stacks. It features a 2-storey, 2-bay central section flanked by 3-storey, single-bay towers on either side, creating a symmetrical front. There is a continuous low plinth and bands below the ground floor windows and above the first floor windows. The windows are 2-light in raised surrounds, with flat-faced mullions and 2-pane sashes for each light. The central block has a low-pitched roof, while the towers have low pyramidal roofs, with the left tower featuring a rebuilt lateral stack. The less symmetrical rear maintains a similar plinth and bands, with a 20th-century door in a raised surround slightly to the right of center and a central stack of handmade brick that rises above the eaves. The rear also has 4-pane sash windows. A flat coped wall to the right connects the farmhouse to a barn and pigsty. There are single-storey outbuildings attached to the left tower, which are not of special interest.
