Description
Home Farmhouse is a hall house dating back to the 16th century, with substantial alterations during the 19th century. The timber frame is now clad in red brick with a plain tile roof. It has two storeys, set on a rendered plinth, with a hipped roof and a gablet end, featuring a central stack. There are three wooden casement windows to the first floor and four to the ground floor, with the extreme right window set in a catslide outshot. A central doorway is blocked. The entrance is located on the right return front, which is tile hung on a flint plinth.
The parlour wing fronts onto the road. Original close-studding of the exterior walls has been preserved within the house. The hall features an inserted 17th-century stack, chamfered arch bracing, coved and moulded beams, and remnants of a screen to the service wing. The roof has been renewed with clasped purlins.
