Description

Home Farm House is a farmhouse, originally also an inn, dating to 1650, with significant work in 1778, and further alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built of coursed and squared limestone rubble, with ashlar quoins and dressings. The roof is pantile, with raised stone coped gables, kneelers and rolled ridges. There are three stacks – two gable and one axial – constructed with moulded ashlar, featuring pairs of shafts and cornices; a further ridge stack has a brick shaft. The building is in a roughly L-shaped layout.

The two-storey front has an irregular three-bay arrangement. The left-hand part of the facade is constructed of squared rubble and has a separate gable, featuring an inscribed datestone reading "TT 1778". The 17th century two-bay right-hand range is in coursed rubble. A large 19th century gabled porch with a half-glazed door sits to the right, alongside an adjacent rectangular bay window and a plain sash window with a segmental head and keystone. Above, on the first floor, is a plain sash window and a pair of plain sashes set under timber lintels. A datestone inscribed "HVM 1650" is set into the right-hand gable. The 18th century rear wing incorporates a 20th century lean-to porch flanked by single plain sash windows. Three similar windows are on the first floor of the rear wing, all with cambered stone lintels and keystones, and the roof has a pair of gabled dormers with 20th century top-hung windows.

The ground floor interior features a 17th century moulded beam, some 18th century dado panelling, and a cupboard with a semi-circular head. The first floor has early 18th century full-height panelling with a cornice. The 18th century wing has a moulded plaster cornice and beams. The 17th century roof structure is of pegged oak, with alternate staggered butt purlins and clasped purlins; the 18th century roof similarly exhibits staggered butt purlin construction.
