Description

Home Farm House is a 17th-century building that was refaced in the 18th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with red brick stacks and a 20th-century clay tiled roof. The original rectangular structure includes a rear central stair tower, with later additions on either side that create a deeper rectangle. The house has two storeys and cellars.

The north elevation showcases an 18th-century brick front with five bays, scored pointing, and a central doorway flanked by fluted pilasters. The doorway has a simple flat cornice hood, a pulvinated frieze, panelled reveals, and a door made of six fielded panels. All windows are sash windows with glazing bars, arranged in a 3x4 pane configuration, and feature impressive voussoirs. Above, a parapet with a dentilled cornice conceals a half-hipped roof and a central square stack.

The south elevation retains the original symmetrical form of the house, with a central hip-roofed stair tower in front of the stack, which includes a deep 2-light casement window with glazing bars arranged in a 4x4 pane layout. On either side, there are two-storey red brick additions; the eastern addition spans the full width and has a ground floor four-panelled door (with the upper two panels glazed), a double casement window with 4x4 panes, and a small ground floor lean-to at the eastern end with a 1x2 casement. The first floor features two 2x3 casements. The western addition has a similar first-floor window and a tall stack at the eastern end. A 20th-century conservatory is located at the western end.

Both the eastern and western elevations are brick-faced, showing a clear line where the parapet has been added to the front of the lower roof gable, which continues down to mark the addition of the front wall.

Inside, the house has been relined in Georgian-style panelling, but the original 17th-century lobby-entrance plan remains evident, consisting of three cells: one room to the west of the stack and two to the east of unequal length. The cellar, dating from the 17th century, features some thin bricks.
