Description

Home Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse that features a timber frame, rendered exterior, and a reed thatched half-hipped roof. The ridge stack has been rebuilt. The original layout is L-shaped, with a late 20th-century extension added in the angle. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical front that includes two flush frame small pane hung sash windows on both the first and ground storeys. The central doorway has a modern door. While the ground floor has been rebuilt, the first floor framing remains intact. Inside, there is an unstopped double ovolo moulded main beam in a ground floor room, and some exposed framing on the first floor features downward bracing and butt purlin roofs in both the front and rear ranges.
