Description
Home Farmhouse and attached farm buildings date from 1858. They are constructed of red brick with stone quoins and dressings, topped with a tiled roof and stone verge copings. The large U-shaped plan includes several additions.
The road front features a gabled 2-storey carriage arch to the right of the center, which separates the house from the outbuildings. Above the arch is a buttressed pointed arch with a 4-light chamfer mullioned attic window and a plaque inscribed "JH/ (JOHN HARDY) 18/52". The house to the right has an end stack and a lower pitched roof, displaying a 2-storey, 3-window front with 2-light mullioned small-pane casement windows. The central entrance has a boarded door with an overlight.
To the left, there is a 2-storey frontage with a slight break to the gable at the end, featuring a 2-light trefoil-headed opening in a deep moulded reveal at attic level. This is accompanied by a range of four 2-light chamfer mullioned openings at eaves level, above four quatrefoil vents at the top of the ground floor. A lean-to is set back beyond the left end, featuring a Caernarvon arch entrance and built against a pair of domestic-looking gabled wings facing southwest, each with a 2-light mullioned window at the apex. The inner side of the courtyard is simpler, with stable and cow house openings.
John Hardy, who was the Patron of Dunstall Church and built much of Dunstall Hall, is associated with this complex, which may be part of Henry Clutton's commission.
