Home Farmhouse, Boundary Wall And Adjacent Outbuilding

Home Farmhouse, along with its boundary wall and adjacent outbuilding, is an estate farmhouse dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick, rendered and colourwashed, topped with a hipped slate roof featuring deep rebated eaves and two ridge stacks. The building is two storeys high with three bays, plus a single bay service wing to the right, forming an L-plan layout.

The windows are predominantly Gothick casements. The south front has a central hipped porch with three round-headed openings, flanked by single casements, and above this are three additional casements. The setback service wing to the right contains three sashes of varying sizes, and above it is a cross eaves gabled dormer with a cross casement. The east return angle features a casement on each floor.

On the west side, there is a large 20th-century plastic glazed porch to the left, with a casement to its right and another casement above. The rear elevation includes a covered way under a pentice roof and a gabled porch with turned posts on the left, along with three Gothick casements to the right. Above, there is a round opening and a mullioned casement to the left, and three more Gothick casements to the right.

The exterior features a curved ashlar dwarf wall topped with iron railings, two pairs of fluted iron gatepiers with ball finials, and scroll-top iron gates. The adjoining farm building to the east, built in the late 19th century, is made of brick with a pantile roof and a single ridge stack, featuring a round opening on the south side. The stable range to the north, also from the late 19th century, is a single storey with 15 bays, including a casement on the east side to the left, a gabled carriage entry with an elliptical head, billeted transom, and bargeboards to its right, and stable doors and casements on the west side, mostly with segmental heads. This building shares a style with those in the Estate Village of Budby, which was laid out by Earl Manvers between 1807 and 1812.
