Description
Home Farmhouse, dating from 1871, is located at Great Moreton Hall. It is constructed of shuttered concrete with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof. The entrance front includes a projecting gabled bay on the right, which has a canted bay window on both the ground and first floors. The center has a cross-window with lattice-pattern glazing and metal glazing bars, flanked by single-light windows set in a chamfered concrete surround. Below the first-floor windows are rectangular panels with diamond-pointed rustication in the central panel. The first-floor fenestration mirrors that of the ground floor, topped by a hipped roof. The projecting plinth of this wing is made of concrete, while the chamfered quoins at the corners are of ashlar.
To the left, slightly recessed, are two bays. The ground floor bay on the right features a half-glazed doorway with a lean-to porch supported by chamfered ashlar piers. To the left of this doorway is a cross-window with a metal frame, and the first floor has a two-light casement on the left and a single-light casement on the right. The right side of the building has a central projecting gabled bay with ashlar quoins, similar to the entrance front's bay window. Flanking this are cross-windows on the ground floor and two-light casements on the first floor, again with lattice-pattern metal glazing bars. At the apex of the central gable is a shield with projecting lettering that reads GHA/HSA/1871. There is a gabled chimney stack on the right with two Tudor chimney pots made of moulded terra-cotta, and a ridge stack to the left of center with four similarly decorated pots.
