Description

The barn at Home Farm and the attached wall on the east side were likely built around 1715 by Joseph Bower, the estate mason, for Thomas Wentworth, the 1st Earl of Strafford. The structure is made of coursed square sandstone and has a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high and consists of six internal bays. There is a later addition of a boilerhouse block at the north end, and the attached wall encloses the yard on the east side.

On the east side, there are large quoins. The second bay features a waggon entrance with a chamfered, quoined segmental arch. To the left of this arch, there is a door beneath a double-chamfered two-light window, with a similar window above it. There are 20th-century wooden steps leading to a first-floor doorway on the left. To the right of the arch, there are five ground-floor openings with ashlar surrounds, four of which are doorways that have been blocked, except for the one on the far right. The east side also has three loft oculi, one boarded door, and a casement on the far right. The structure features stone gutter brackets, shaped kneelers, and gable copings.

An addition on the right is set at an angle and has a partially blocked ground floor door to the left of a window, with a first-floor doorway linked by a walkway to an adjacent cartshed. This addition has a hipped roof. The wall attached to the front left has ashlar copings and returns to terminate in front of the boilerhouse. It includes rebated ashlar gate piers, each with a band and pyramidal cap, with the northern pier linked to the cottage at Home Farm.

At the rear, there is an opposed waggon entrance with a similar arch, which is now partly obscured by raised ground. A conical brick stack with an ashlar base is set at the angle with the boilerhouse block.

Inside, there is a re-used king-post roof taken from a timber-framed building, featuring double purlins and braces to the ridge. This barn is an important part of the Home Farm group. Its construction is mentioned in a letter from Thomas Wentworth's gardener, John Arnold, dated 16 February 1714.
