Description
Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th to 17th century, constructed with a timber frame and featuring later red brick nogging. The northern gable end and rear elevation are plastered. It has a steep plain tile roof with a rebuilt old ridge stack. There is a central rear extension, likely from the 17th century, and a 20th-century addition on the southwest side. The building is two storeys high and includes partly 19th-century glazing bar casements and sash windows. The east elevation features a 17th-century wood-mullioned leaded casement window on the first floor, while the northern end has a canted sash bay window on the ground floor.
