Description
Swyncombe Park, Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with the two right bays remodeled in the early 19th century. It is constructed of flint rubble with brick dressings, and features early 19th century brick on the ground floor to the right. The building has an old tile roof and brick stacks, and follows a lobby-entry plan. It is two storeys tall with an attic and has a four-window range. The entrance includes a 20th-century door and an early 20th-century timber porch. There are brick segmental and flat arches over a late 19th-century tripartite sash window, a 19th-century two-light casement, and a horizontal sliding sash. To the right, there is an early 19th-century Tudor-style canted bay with cavetto-moulded stone mullions. A brick string course runs along the façade. The early 19th-century front to the right has a two-window range with wide gauged brick flat arches over partially blocked windows featuring 8-pane sashes. The roof is gabled with a hipped section to the right, and there are ridge stacks. The interior has only been partially inspected.
