Description

Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was extended into three cottages around 1830 and is now a house. The building dates back to the 16th century and was partly refaced in the early 18th century, with the left bay added in the early 19th century. Originally timber-framed, it features rectangular heavy timber framing with early 19th-century brick infill on the right side. The left bay and rear are clad in knapped flint rubble with brick dressings, while the early 19th-century left bay is made of Flemish bond brick with flared headers and partly flint rubble. The farmhouse has a gabled thatch roof with brick end and internal stacks. It has been extended from a two-unit to a three-unit plan and stands two storeys high with a three-window range.

The windows include 20th-century and 19th-century two-light casements above a 20th-century door and casement on the right side. The centre bay has a blocked door with a gauged brick flat arch above a two-light leaded casement, and a 19th-century three-light casement above that. The left bay features a blocked door and a 20th-century dormer casement above a segmental-arched late 19th-century three-light casement. There is also an 18th-century one-storey, one-bay extension on the right, made of flint rubble with a hipped thatch roof. Inside, the farmhouse has chamfered and stopped beams, an open fireplace, and a queen-post roof.
