Description
Home Farm House and Nos. 1 and 2 Home Farm Cottages are a house and associated cottages, dating to the 15th century for the cottages and the early to mid-19th century for the farmhouse. The building is timber framed. Nos. 1 and 2 are clad in fishscale tiles, while the farmhouse has weatherboarding with tile-hanging to the gable ends. The roofs are covered in plain tiles. The buildings were probably originally a hall house before the farmhouse was built, replacing the left-hand bay.
The buildings stand two storeys high on a stone plinth. The farmhouse is significantly taller and has a half-hipped roof to its left end and a hipped roof with a gablet to the right end of No. 2. There are four stacks: a rear stack to the left of the farmhouse, a red brick stack projecting from the right gable end at the junction with No. 1, a multiple brick ridge stack off-centre to the right of Nos. 1 and 2, and a projecting brick stack with a stone base to the right end of No. 2. The fenestration is irregular, with two glazing-bar sash windows to the farmhouse and three two-light casements to Nos. 1 and 2. The farmhouse has a central panelled door with two top lights under a trellised porch, while Nos. 1 and 2 have boarded doors, one with a rectangular light towards the left end and the other slightly to the right of the stack, both with simple flat hoods.
A parallel rear range extends from the farmhouse and is built of red brick in Flemish bond, with occasional grey headers, and incorporates weatherboarding to the gable. This range is two storeys high and has a half-hipped roof. The interiors were not inspected.
