Home Farmhouse

Home Farmhouse is a house, originally a farmhouse, dating to the 16th and 17th centuries. It is timber framed with colourwashed render and a plain tile roof, originally thatched. The house is two storeys and a single storey with an attic. The front is covered in stucco grooved to imitate ashlar. The original portion of the house is situated on the right, with a projecting gabled wing to the right and a further portion on-line to the right, with a roof pitched at a lower height of 1 1/2 storeys. The right-hand two-storey portion has a 19th-century three-light casement window and a similar first-floor and attic window above. To the left of the wing is a 2-light 19th-century casement window and, to the left, a 20th-century gabled porch with a panelled 20th-century door, a triangular fanlight, shaped bargeboards, and a mace finial. Above the porch are two 19th- to 20th-century three-light casement windows. The later portion to the left has a 2-light and a three-light 19th-century casement and a raking dormer window to the first floor of three lights at the far right. The right-hand side of the house is blank.

The right-hand gable has a half-glazed door at the left and a three-light first-floor window. To the left of this are a three-light and a single-light window, and two raking dormers to the attic, each of two lights. A chimney stack of two flues with a rectangular base and a moulded brick string course at the top rises from the ridge of the gabled wing. Above this are two octagonal flues with moulded tops. A cross-axial stack of two flues is situated to the ridge at the left of this, and a lower ridge to the left of the later portion has an axial stack of two flues. The left-hand side of the rear has a projecting wing to the right, featuring a blocked window on the ground floor and a 20th-century two-light window on the first floor. The left flank of this wing has two three-light windows, an 19th-century two-light casement, and a stable door at the centre. The attic has two three-light casements and a first-floor single-light window on the right. The axial wing to the left of this has a 19th-century two-light ground-floor casement and a first-floor two-light window. The slightly projecting gabled wing at the left is blank.

Inside the ground floor room within the 17th-century parlour wing, there is an ovolo-moulded central beam with chamfered bar stops and roll moulding to the centre of the underside of the beam. Plain joists are present, with indications of a formerly suspended plaster ceiling. The room exhibits close studding and chamfered ceiling beams.
