Description

Home Farmhouse is an 18th-century garden pavilion with early 19th-century additions, likely designed by Peter Atkinson, the architect of the nearby Home Farm Quadrangle. The building, now a single dwelling, was originally a garden pavilion flanked by houses for the estate bailiff and dairymaid. It is constructed of rendered brick with ashlar dressings and hammer-dressed stone insertions, with a stone slate roof. The overall form is that of a single-cell pavilion flanked by single-cell houses, creating a double-depth arrangement with a wing to the right, forming an L-shape. The south front features four gabled ranges.

The single-storey pavilion has an ashlar plinth, a rusticated impost band, and three semicircular arches. The central arch, taller than the others, is filled with a 20th-century doorway flanked by 20-pane sash windows with projecting sills. A pedimented gable tops the pavilion. The flanking houses are slightly set back, each with an ashlar plinth and a single bay of windows with lintels and sills. The wing has a doorway to the left of a window bay, both with coped gables and kneelers that step back to the right. A large, shouldered stack is located to the front right, with another at the junction of the house and the wing. Behind the pavilion, a stack has a casement-moulded cornice.

The interior includes rooms with architraves, 6-panel doors, and wall cupboards with raised-and-fielded panels. The pavilion's apse has a flat ceiling, four arched doorways, a Neo-Classical plaster frieze, and a dentil cornice. Local tradition suggests that the Lascelles family used the pavilion for cream teas in the summer, with the nearby dairy situated within the Home Farm Quadrangle.
