Description
Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 18th century, with some parts possibly older. It is constructed from limestone rubble and features artificial-stone slate roofs with ashlar gable stacks. The building has a double-depth plan with a rear wing and stands two storeys tall plus attics. The symmetrical front has five windows and a central doorway, which is adorned with an early 19th-century iron trellis porch. The large windows on the ground floor are 16-pane sashes, and they have brick flat arches with stone keyblocks above them. The roof includes one central gabled roof dormer, and the gable walls are marked by large projecting chimneys. The rear wing, located to the left and containing the current main entrance, is irregular in shape and mostly dates from the early 19th century. There are additional sashes and a roof dormer at the rear of the main range. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
