Description
Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a plain tile roof with one gable stack. The building has two storeys and the east front displays a dentilled cornice and consists of five bays.
The entrance is off-centre and includes a six-panel door set beneath a cambered arch. To the left of the door are two 2-light casements, each with cambered arches, and further left is a larger 3-light sliding sash window with a flat arch. On the right side, there is a 20th-century 3-light casement window with a flat arch.
On the upper floor, to the left, there are two 2-light casements, and to the right, there is a small 20th-century window followed by another 2-light casement, all featuring flat arches. A 20th-century extension is attached to the right side of the farmhouse, while a lower range is attached to the left.
