Description
No 12, known as Home Farm, is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the mid to late 16th century and was originally timber-framed. The exterior is roughcast over early to mid 18th-century brick, topped with an old tile roof and featuring a brick stack. The building has a three-unit plan, is two storeys high, and has a three-window range. There is a flat arch over a late 19th-century sash window in a blocked doorway opposite the stack, and keyed segmental arches above mid 18th-century sashes on the first floor. The gabled roof has a ridge stack.
Inside, the left room features a chamfered and stopped beam and an early 18th-century bolection-moulded fireplace. The central room has a chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace, cavetto-moulded joists, and a moulded axial beam at the rear. The room on the right has an ovolo-moulded beam. There is a quarter-turn staircase with chamfered posts located at the rear of the stack. The first floor includes chamfered and stopped door frames, an 18th-century two-panelled door to the right, and a chamfered bressumer that extends into the chamfered chalk ashlar arrises of the open fireplace on the left. The attic displays an exposed chalk rubble stack rendered with straw and mud daubing, a queen-post truss to the right, and chamfered butt purlins.
