Home Farmhouse

Howe Farmhouse is a house dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, with additions and alterations in the 18th century and later. It is timber framed and plastered, with weatherboarded wings at the rear. The building comprises several phases of construction. It has red plain tiled roofs; the left half of the roof is hipped, and there is a red brick chimney stack with a square attached shaft to the right wing. The front has a 2:1 window range of small paned vertically sliding sash windows, mostly tripartite in design. A bow window is located on the ground floor of the left range. A 20th-century door sits to the left, with a moulded surround and a flat canopy supported by brackets. The original part of the house has a heavy timber frame, featuring stop-chamfered bridging joists and halved arched bracing to the angles, with square mullions in the blocked windows. An original 4-panelled door retains its hinges. There are also 18th-century vertically boarded doors with strap hinges. A rebuilt red brick fireplace is present.
