Description
Home Farm House is a house dating from the mid-16th century, with parts rebuilt in the 17th century and raised and altered in the 19th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, and has a shallow pitch slate roof. The house is designed with a three-cell cross passage plan and has two storeys. The entrance leads into a screens passage with a 19th-century four-panel door and a doorcase that has a bracketed hood. To the left of the entrance are three-light glazing bar casements, a single light window, and another entrance. On the first floor, there are two-light casements with 19th-century moulded triangular heads. A ridge stack is located at the upper end of the hall, while the left gable end has a truncated external stack made of early red brick with multiple offsets and a pantiled oven outshut. At the rear, there is a door to the screens passage and scattered casements.
Inside, the hall features close studding and a broach stopped cross axial binding beam. There is a 17th-century screen with fielded panels, and the upper room has a broach stopped cross axial binding beam, although the lower room has been largely rebuilt. On the first floor, there are reverse curved braces in the walling and mortices for diamond mullioned windows. The original queen post roof remains over two hall bays, with arched braces extending from jowled queen posts to arcade plates and purlins, and to collars, which were renewed in the 19th century. The house is situated on a partly moated site.
