Description
The gas house, located 50 meters north of Home Farmhouse, dates from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of brick with a slate roof and is 1½ storeys high, featuring a two-bay retort house. At one end, there is a single-storey, one wide bay fuel store, and adjacent to it is a single-storey, three-bay regulator house. The fuel store has a planked door, while the retort house includes arched cast-iron windows, one of which has a door in the lower part. The regulator house has doors and a similar window. Inside the retort house, there are foundations for the retorts and cast-iron slate related to its conversion to acetylene, marked as 'Acetylene Installation, by The St James Illuminating Co. Ltd, 3 Victoria St London SW'. Additionally, a blacksmith's forge was housed in a shed along the rear.
