Description

Home Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse that was extended in the 19th century and altered in the 20th century. It is constructed from a mix of limestone and marlstone rubble, with some limestone-ashlar dressings, and features a Cotswold-slate roof with stone-and-brick slacks. The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys plus an attic high.

The garden front has three windows and includes a 19th-century bay on the right side, which contains a secondary doorway. Between the second and third bays, there is a gabled stair projection that features the main doorway and retains a two-light ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned window. This projection also has an ornamental sundial in the gable. Flanking the projection at ground level are three-light windows: the right window has a label mould over a 20th-century casement, while the left window is an unusual three-light stone-mullioned window with a label arching over a fluted segmental tympanum on the middle light. The windows in the first bay and on the first floor are from the 20th century. The steep-pitched roof has stacks to the left of the first and third bays, both with stone plinths, and features a 20th-century roof dormer. The front of the building is largely obscured by two small 19th-century extensions.

Inside, there is a stop-chamfered spine beam and an inglenook fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressumer.
