Home Farmhouse

Home Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century. It has two storeys and attics, with a three-cell layout in the main part. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof that features a decorated ridge and eaves. An internal chimney stack has four square shafts with attached heads on a rectangular base, which includes a recessed blank panel.

The farmhouse has two 4-light windows on each floor, one 3-light window on the upper floor, and one 2-light window on the ground floor, all of which are casements with transoms. The north gable wall features an original 6-light window and a smaller secondary window, both with diamond mullions. There is a 20th-century plank door with a shaped head and timber jambs.

The house reflects a mix of construction dates; at the south end, where a small wing extends at the rear, there are signs of earlier framing, while the north end shows a difference in ceiling heights. Inside, the south end has an exposed ceiling with an ovolo-moulded main beam and plain joists, and the upper floor features ovolo-moulding on the mullions. The structure includes widely spaced studding and arched braces, original upper ceilings, and open fireplaces with plain lintels on the ground floor. The two upper fireplaces have rounded backs and brick arches, with traces of red ochre coloring and lining.

Various sections of panelling, some plank-and-muntin and others with square panels, have been reused to create a corridor on the upper floor. The roof has side purlins with wind braces. At the rear, there is a lean-to that contains a modern stair, and a small 18th-century 1½-storey wing at the north end, constructed of red brick over timber-framing and covered with clay pantiles, features a later end chimney stack and houses the current kitchen.
