Description

The Dairy House at Home Farm is a late 19th-century building associated with the Wentworth Castle estate. It is constructed from coursed, rock-faced sandstone, with brick at the rear and a Welsh slate roof. The structure is single-storey and features five bays, with large quoins. The doorways in bays two and four have roughly-tooled bonded jambs and lintels with draughted margins, and retain their original doors. The other bays have slatted casements in similar surrounds. The building has shaped kneelers, gable copings, and two wooden ridge louvres. At the rear, there is a quoined central doorway. Inside, there are three pattern-book king-post trusses. The Dairy House is included for its group value.
