Description
Home Farmhouse is a house that has been divided into three or four tenements. It dates back to the 16th century and was altered in the 19th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. It has three bays facing northeast, with a stack located in the middle bay behind the ridge. There is a two-bay rear wing behind the left bay, which features an external stack at the end. Additionally, there is a single-storey lean-to extension with a catslide roof behind the remaining part of the house, along with a 19th-century wing at the rear that has a central stack and an extensive catslide roof to the right. The overall layout forms an approximately square plan. There is also a single-storey extension from the 19th or 20th century at the rear. The house has two storeys and attics. On the ground floor, there are four 20th-century casement windows, while the first floor has three 20th-century casements, two of which feature 20th-century two-centred hood moulds in gabled sections. There are 20th-century doors on both returns and at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
