Description
Home Farm is a model farm built between 1747 and 1748, with later alterations, possibly designed by William Baker. It is constructed of red brick and features plain tile roofs. The layout includes a rectangular yard aligned east-west, which was once surrounded on all sides by buildings. Entrances to the courtyard are located in the center of the south range and towards the east end of the north range, although the southern half of the east range has been demolished.
The north range housed a malthouse, cowshed, root house, and bullhouse, while the south range contained a barn, stables, and slaughterhouse. The east range included cowsheds, and the west range had loose boxes and stables. The farmhouse is situated in the north-east corner of the quadrangle.
On the north front, the farmhouse is positioned to the left of a segmental carriage arch, with farm buildings to the right. The farmhouse is three storeys high with two bays, featuring 20th-century casements and a single central window on the ground floor. It has raised roof verges and an integral end stack. To the right is a two-storey, two-bay block with similar windows. The farm buildings are one storey with a loft, and the ground floor and loft openings have segmental heads that are irregularly placed.
The south front includes a single-storey barn on the right, which has two segmental arched cart entrances with boarded doors and 13 tiers of air vents. To the left are lofted stables with five loft openings and boarded doors, along with a central segmental carriage arch. William Baker was known to be at Enville in 1748 and was compensated for unspecified plans in 1750, which may have been related to Home Farm.
