Description
Home Farmhouse is a house dating from the 18th century, with an earlier core likely from the late 16th or early 17th century. It is constructed of brick with some fragments of timber framing and has a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a two-unit plan. The centrally placed entrance features a six-panelled door, with a three-light window to its left. This window includes two lights with a cambered head and one flat-headed light, while immediately to the right of the door is a blocked single cambered-headed light. The right-hand bay also has a three-light casement window that does not relate to the two blocked cambered heads.
To the right of the doorway, there are two timber posts set close together, one resting on a padstone and standing one storey high. The upper part of the house features two three-light casement windows. The building has a brick plinth and sill band, with gable and axial stacks. A vertical principal post on a padstone is visible in the rear wall.
Adjoining to the left is a single-storey range that was formerly two storeys and contained an inglenook fireplace in what was likely the kitchen. Although it has been part of the house in recent times, it may have originally been a separate dwelling. This range is also made of brick with a Welsh slate roof and has a single small light facing the street, along with an axial stack.
Inside the main part of the house, there is an inglenook in the left-hand bay, featuring a heavy chamfered spine beam and joists with ogivally moulded chamfer stops.
