Home Farmhouse

Home Farmhouse is a house that may have origins dating back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th century and further enlargement and modifications in 1900. The structure is timber-framed, with roughcast rendering, and the front wall was cased in white brick during the 1900 renovations. It features a steeply pitched, plain tiled roof with a red brick ridge stack from around 1620, which has grouped shafts set diagonally. The original layout consists of a single range of three bays with a lobby entry at the rear. The house is two storeys high and has four recessed horizontal sliding sash windows on both the ground and first floors, along with two doorways, all dating from 1900. The house was extended to the right side in 1900, maintaining the white brick and plain tile style.

Inside, the service end retains the original partition wall between the pantry and buttery, along with two openings that likely mark the site of the original layout. The central room features early 17th-century stop-chamfered main beams and joists supported by a clamp. There are two adjoining inglenook hearths made of 17th-century red brick, one of which in the parlour is sealed and has a surround of 18th-century panelling, possibly reset. The intersecting ceiling beams are also chamfered. Only the wall plates of at least two roof raises of the timber framing are visible.
