Farmhouse At Home Farm

The farmhouse at Home Farm dates to the early 16th century, with alterations occurring throughout the 20th century. It is constructed of brick and framed walls, now rendered, with a timber roof structure including crucks and a tile pitched roof. The house is a three-bay building, with an entrance situated between the former dairy at the right end and the two bays to the left.

The exterior features 20th-century three-light windows to each storey, a gabled porch over the entrance, end chimneys, and a chimney to the left of the entrance.

The ground floor contains three rooms. The entrance leads into a passage where a wall is formed of large sandstone blocks supporting an open fireplace in the central room. This fireplace has a wide, heavy, segmentally arched bressumer supported on large chamfered blocks on each side, with some 20th-century stonework at the rear. Two chamfered ceiling beams run across the width of the house, with similar beams connecting front to rear. These beams are stopped at both ends and, to the left of the fireplace, a chamfered post with stops at the bottom has a matched stop at the top where it meets the bressumer and at the outside where it continues beyond the post. The joists throughout the ceiling also have stops. In the left end room, two chamfered beams continue, with stops at the partition but not to the outside wall; the joists in this room do not have stops. A small area of exposed wattle and daub is visible in this partition wall, and the base of the crucks continues down to floor level. The right end room, formerly a dairy, has a central beam and a segmentally arched bressumer to the end wall. A 20th-century staircase is located to the rear of the central bay.

The first floor has wide plank floorboards and two pairs of exposed cruck blades, which are pegged and have redundant peg holes below. Above ceiling level, the crucks have been truncated to accommodate the 19th-century roof structure consisting of light scantling rafters with a ridge piece.

Historically, 19th-century brick farm buildings form part of the farm complex to the east. The farmhouse is not listed in a catalogue of surviving cruck buildings in Condover, and the 20th-century exterior contrasts with the interesting interior features.
