Description

Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was formerly known as the Greyhound public house. It is dated 1842 on a plaque located on the gable and incorporates a late 17th century building along with an 18th century extension. The structure features a red brick casing with some rendered timber framing and has plain tile roofs. A tall late 17th century ridge stack made of red brick has four shafts of local brick. The original building is a two-storey T-plan from the 17th century, with additions to the southeast, northeast, and west. There is a 19th century embattled porch at the angle of the two main ranges, which includes one large and one small horizontal sliding sash window set in segmental brick arches to the right, along with two first floor horizontal sliding sash windows above. Inside, the farmhouse has ogee-moulded and stop-chamfered beams, as well as an exposed floor frame.

Home Farmhouse sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
