Description

The barn at Home Farm is an early to mid-19th century structure built for the Wentworth estate. It is made of dressed sandstone and has a slate roof. The barn stands three storeys tall, although it loses a storey at the rear due to the rise in the ground. It features seven bays with two lower wings. The elevations are symmetrical, with window openings that have projecting sills and lintels shaped like voussoirs, containing either slatted-wood ventilators or sash windows.

On the uphill side, there are two cart entries with quoined and segmental arches; the left entry has renewed boarded doors while the right entry is infilled. A central door with an overlight is flanked by window openings. There are three square openings for the loft and ashlar-dressed circular pitching holes above the archways. The left end has two doorways beneath a single window, although the wing is obscured. The right end features altered ground-floor openings, but the opening above remains intact; this wing is set back and has a blocked door and window beneath two sashed windows. The barn has paired gutter brackets and hipped roofs.

On the downhill side, which faces the farmyard, there are arched-headed doorways opposite the cart entries, although the external stone steps to each door have been removed. Most windows are slatted. The left wing has two doors with overlights, two blocked first-floor windows, and two sashes on the second floor. The right wing has a large inserted opening spanned by a steel girder, with two windows on each floor.

Inside, the barn features a vaulted undercroft that serves as a piggery, but much of the upper flooring has been removed. This barn is a prominent building within the large-scale planned farm at Home Farm.
