Description

Home Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse that stands two storeys high with attics. It features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, with weatherboarded gables and a roof covered in clay pantiles. The building has both an internal and an end chimney stack, each with rendered shafts. The windows are a mix of old two-light and three-light casements, and there is a 19th-century porch that is enclosed and gabled.

The farmhouse is framed in six bays, which includes a chimney bay, and has a three-cell lobby-entrance layout with a two-bay service room at the south end that was originally unheated. The main beams are chamfered with stepped stops, and the chamfer continues down the main posts. The original upper ceilings remain intact. On the ground floor, there is a blocked four-light window with moulded mullions, while the upper floor features one four-light window and one five-light window, both with diamond mullions. The roof structure includes clasped purlins, windbraces, and intermediate collars between the trusses.
