Description

Home Farmhouse and the attached barn is an early to mid 19th century estate building, described as a laithe house in polite terms. It is constructed of red sandstone ashlar in a Tudor style. The building features domestic and agricultural sections that flank a three-bay projecting center with moulded and shaped gable coping. It is two storeys high and has two and three-light casements with chamfered stone mullions set in double-chamfered reveals with raised surrounds. The Tudor arched central doorway has a similar treatment, complete with an oblong fanlight above. The stone flagged roof has end chimneys, coped gables, and kneelers. A high projecting pent wagon porch is located at the barn end, along with key slit ventilation holes and stout lintels above the doorways. The rear elevation displays a pent house extension and a wagon entrance arch with cut voussoirs. Inside, original woodwork remains, including doors, a staircase, and chamfered ceiling beams.
