Description
Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and mid 18th century, with later additions. The northern part of the building is timber framed, featuring angle braces and brick nogging, while the southern part is constructed of red brick. It has gauged window heads with carved stone scrolled keystones, a plat band, and grey headers in the first-floor blank window to the right. The south side has a moulded brick eaves cornice, an old tile roof with end stacks, a central ridge stack on the rear wing, and two hipped dormers to the south with 2-light casements. The building is T-shaped with one framed bay wing at the rear. The south front has two storeys and an attic, with glazing bar sashes in exposed wooden boxes. The central entrance features a 6-panelled door with a rectangular overlight, a plain surround, and a projecting flat hood supported by acanthus scrolled brackets. To the left, there is a single-storey 19th-century addition made of red brick, topped with an old tiled roof and featuring a stack to the right and one 2-light casement.
