Stables And Kennels At Home Farm About 220 Metres Ese Of Foliejon Park

The stables and kennels at Home Farm, located about 220 metres southeast of Foliejon Park, date from the early 19th century, with an extension added around the mid-19th century. The building features a Flemish bond red brick front and a weatherboarded timber-frame structure behind. It has a slate hipped roof with lead rolled hips and ridge, and later 19th-century brick stacks on the front.

The plan consists of a long rectangular stable range with a Palladian style brick north front that faces the park, while the south elevation is plain and faces the yard. There is a lower kennel wing that extends at right angles to the southeast, along with a small mid-19th-century wing at the front.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical arrangement of bays on the north front, consisting of one central bay flanked by three bays on each side. The centre and ends project forward and feature large round-arch recesses, with the centre adorned by a pediment, a brick stringcourse, and blind oculi on the first floor. The ground floor has round-headed windows, and to the right and left of the centre, there are dummy porticos with round arches and oculi, with the left portico concealed behind a single-storey wing that has a two-span gabled roof. The windows are sash with glazing bars and flat rubbed brick arches, and there is a single-storey bay on the right with a 12-pane sash window.

At the rear, the weatherboarded timber-frame has a window arrangement of 1:7:1, with advanced ends. The first floor features small casements, while the ground floor has stable doors and a canopy, along with a 12-pane sash window on the left and a single-storey one-bay range with a plank door on the left end. To the right, there is a single-storey kennel range that extends at right angles, complete with runs in front that are enclosed by railings with cast-iron posts. The interior has been altered.
