Home Farmhouse

Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating back to the 16th century, and possibly with even earlier origins. It was remodelled in the 18th century. Originally built with a timber frame, the front is now roughcast over a base of flint rubble, with 18th-century brick quoins, dressings, and bands. The rear is constructed of chalk and flint rubble. The roof is gabled and covered with old tiles, with a brick ridge stack. The house follows a two-unit lobby-entry plan, with an 18th-century outshut at the rear. It is two storeys high, with a three-window front. A 19th-century four-panelled door is set in a heavy, pegged frame, and is protected by a 20th-century porch. The windows have an irregular arrangement of flat brick arches, mostly containing 20th-century casements. An 18th-century three-light iron casement is located above a 19th-century horizontal sliding sash window on the right side.

Inside, there is 16th-century square timber framing of heavy construction and scantling, particularly visible on the rear first-floor wall. Features include jowled posts to tie beams and an uninspected roof. There are chamfered and stopped beams, and a chamfered bressumer over the open fireplace. The interior also features 18th-century ribbed doors.

A wing to the right of the main house is one storey high with an attic, and contains a single bay. Originally timber-framed, its front wall is constructed of 18th-century chequer brick over flint rubble, with a gabled old tile roof. The interior of this wing has three raised crucks with wind-braced purlins that remain of what was originally a two-bay hall, likely dating back to the late medieval period.
