Home Farmhouse

Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 15th century, with additions from the 17th century and alterations made in the 18th and late 19th centuries. It is timber framed, faced and extended in red brick, and features plain tile roofs. The building is arranged in an L-shape and was originally an open hall house consisting of three framed bays, with gabled wings added in the 17th century and further additions to the rear in the 18th century. The farmhouse has two storeys and a gable-lit attic.

The exterior includes a plinth and a plat band, with an external brick end stack to the left and a stack behind the ridge that is offset to the right. On the first floor, there is a central late 19th-century two-light wooden casement window, and to the left, a 20th-century three-light metal casement. The ground floor features a 19th-century three-light wooden casement window on the right and a central six-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed, framed by a panelled architrave and an early 19th-century gabled lattice porch. To the right, there is a one-storey lean-to with a two-light segmental-headed casement window at the front. A straight joint in the brickwork indicates that the eaves have been raised.

At the rear, the two gabled wings display exposed collar and tie-beam trusses with queen struts, one of which has a rectangular datestone inscribed with "WC/1657." There is also an 18th-century one-storey service wing that is at right angles to the rear and has an external brick end stack.

Inside, the farmhouse features a crown post roof with cambered tie-beams and down-curved crown post braces, along with a fragmentary collar purlin and collar purlin braces. There is evidence of smoke blackening, and the timber frame is visible on the first floor with corner braces. The floors and stack were likely inserted in the late 16th or 17th century, creating a baffle-entry plan house. The ground-floor room to the left has early 18th-century bolection-moulded panelling and a moulded cornice. The dining room features mid-18th-century raised and fielded panelling with a dado rail, a moulded cornice, and an early 19th-century fireplace. The kitchen window at the front has early 18th-century fluted wooden reveals, and there are 17th and 18th-century boarded and panelled doors with L-hinges.

Home Farmhouse is the only remaining structure from the settlement of Berwick Maviston, which was incorporated into Attingham Park in 1798.
