Description

Home Farmhouse is a house that likely dates from the 18th century, with extensions added in the 19th century. It has an L-shaped layout, featuring a one-unit range with a gable facing the street and a longer wing at the back. The main range is constructed of rubble, with some quoins at the angles and openings, topped by a pantiled roof. The entrance includes a six-panelled door with an overlight, and there are wood mullioned windows. The right-hand wing has a stone gable facing the street, while the rear is made of brick and has a Welsh slate roof. On the side elevation, there are two 19th-century dormers with finials.
