Description
Home Farmhouse is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century, with possible earlier elements, and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed with a timber frame and is plastered, featuring steeply pitched roofs covered with plain tiles. The main range has a three-cell lobby entry and a dairy wing to the right, creating a T-shaped plan. The house has two storeys and attics.
On the ground floor, there is a half-glazed door located to the left of centre, along with two and three-light glazing bar casements, some of which have metal frames and hoodboards. The first floor features an ovolo mullioned four-light window over the parlour to the left, and a three-light casement to the right. There is an axial ridge stack with three conjoined hexagonal shafts situated between the hall and parlour. The left gable end has a glazing bar sash on the ground floor, a blocked window on the first floor, and an attic light, with exposed plates and purlins. The dairy wing extends two bays forward and has two-light casements on the inner return, with exposed plates and double purlins on the front gable end, and the wing extends by one bay to the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
