Description
The Estate Building, known as Home Farmhouse, is an important structure built between 1783 and 1784, likely designed by Anthony Keck. It serves multiple purposes, incorporating workshops, a cart house, stables, and a hay loft. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a graduated stone tile roof. It has a square plan with a central courtyard, oriented towards the main front on the south-west side. A further range extends from the eastern corner towards the south-east.
The main front is symmetrical, with gabled side ranges that are slightly advanced. The central entrance is also advanced and features a pediment with a clock face, topped by a hexagonal cupola that contains a bell. The entrance itself has a semi-circular arch. The two-storey side ranges each have three 6-pane sash windows set under segmental heads. Below these windows are semi-circular headed recesses, with lunette windows above and stone bands forming the sills.
At the rear of the courtyard, opposite the entrance, there are eight tall entrances with semi-circular arches and double doors. A carriageway through the right-hand range leads out of the yard, while stable entrances are located on the other side, below segmental headed openings for the hay loft. An attached subsidiary range on this side has ten openings with semi-elliptical arches and eight segmental headed openings leading to the hay loft. The right-hand end of this range is finished with a gable that includes a small pigeon loft.
