Description

Home Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century. It may have originally been a lobby entrance house from around 1600, or it could consist of two separate builds, with the eastern part dating to around 1600 and the western part from the first half of the 17th century. The house has two storeys and features a later addition with a gabled roof to the north.

The garden front has both ground and first floors fitted with 20th-century casement windows. The east and west ends are constructed of flint with brick quoins, while the center has been refaced with 19th-century brick. On the west side, there is a blocked rectangular window on the first floor with a brick drip mould. A straight joint at the westernmost bay indicates the addition from the 17th century. The east gable has one attic window with a pediment, although the pediments on the first and ground floors have been removed. The gable features a parapet with kneelers, and the steeply pitched roof has a central stack, with the roof on the west side being lower in pitch. The west gable is made of flint with brick dressings and has blocked windows on the first and attic floors, both with drip moulds, along with a brick stack.

The north front, which serves as the entrance, is rendered in white-wash and has 20th-century casements and doors, along with a 19th-century gabled addition of two storeys. Inside, the west section has large rooms on both the ground and first floors, featuring moulded and stopped spine beams and bressumer beams. There is also a moulded lintel above the fireplace on the ground floor.
