Home Farmhouse

Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1786, with a 19th-century addition to the rear, likely built for the Pepper family. It is constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond and has a concrete tile roof. The building is L-shaped, featuring a two-room central entrance hall on the west front and a kitchen wing to the rear right, which includes a contemporary outshut in the angle and a later extension at the back. The farmhouse is two storeys tall with an attic and has three symmetrical bays.

There is a step leading up to a moulded six-fielded-panel door, which is set beneath a fluted frieze, cornice, and a plain fanlight within a cyma moulded architrave that has a painted brick arch. The 19th-century four-pane sash windows are in original flush wooden architraves with projecting sills and stucco flat arches. The eaves are stepped, and the gables are stone-coped with shaped kneelers, while the ends have corniced stacks.

On the right return, the rear wing features a six-fielded-panel door beneath a segmental arch, a single wide six-pane sash window in a flush wooden architrave beneath a cambered arch, and a similar first-floor window beneath a segmental arch. There is also an attic hatch with a board door leading to the front range. The front right and rear gable ends have tie bars dated 17 and 86, and the front left displays initials: R P, with the first initial damaged, possibly being P or B.

Inside, the farmhouse contains an original staircase with column balusters, a marble chimney-piece, ribbed cornice, fielded-panel doors, and window shutters in architraves, although the interior has not been fully investigated.
