Description

Home Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse and has been divided into two cottages at one point. It dates from the 16th or 17th century, with an addition from the 18th century. The building is timber framed, covered in colourwashed render, and has a plain tiled roof that was originally thatched. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has a four-cell plan, with one cell added in the 18th century.

On the entrance front, there are doorways to the right and left of the centre, with 2-light windows from the 19th and 20th centuries on either side. The first floor features three 2-light casements from the 19th century. The render displays remnants of pargetting panels with defaced initials, possibly "W (P?)".

On the right gable end, there is a 3-light window at the centre of the ground floor, and to the right, a 5-light window with moulded mullions in the upper wall. The first floor has a 2-light window from the 20th century. The gable is jettied on brackets and features a 4-light casement, along with renewed 20th-century bargeboards and bressumer.

The left gable end has a blank wall on the ground floor, a 2-light window on the first floor, and a 5-light attic window with moulded mullions. At the rear, there is a 20th-century outshut on the left with two slit windows, and to the right, there are two single-light windows and a 3-light window, along with a 3-light casement from the 19th century on the first floor.
