Description
Home Farmhouse, dating from the mid to late 17th century with possible older origins, has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of ironstone ashlar with limestone dressings and features thatch and slate roofs, along with brick end and ridge stacks. The building has a three-unit plan and is one storey with an attic, presenting a two-window range.
The central feature is a two-storey canted bay window that becomes a dormer above the eaves. Originally, it had hollow-chamfered stone mullion windows, with three lights at the front and single lights on the sides, all adorned with hood moulds. One stone mullion remains in the dormer window, while the others have been replaced with wooden mullions for casement windows. The bay window is topped with a stone-coped gable supported by corbelled kneelers.
To the left of the bay, there is a four-panel door framed by a hollow and wave-moulded limestone surround, with a footscraper niche to the right. The ground floor includes a two-light casement window to the right with a stone lintel and another two-light casement window at the far left, which has a 19th-century segmental-arched brick lintel. Above, a similar window on the first floor has been raised in red brick and has a slate roof. The right side elevation features a four-light stone mullion window on the ground floor, although one light is blocked in brick.
Attached to the farmhouse is a single-storey outbuilding, built of coursed squared ironstone with a pantile roof, which has been extended by one bay in brick. Inside the farmhouse, there is one full cruck truss with a collar and saddle, a tier of purlins in the roof, one wind brace, and a ridge piece. The ground floor showcases chamfered spine beams, one of which has broach stops, and an open fireplace with a cambered stop-chamfered bressumer. The dining room features a 19th-century chimneypiece made of Derbyshire fossiliferous marble.
