Home Farmhouse

Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse that underwent mid-18th century remodelling of a 17th century or earlier building, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, and was formerly roughcast at the front. The roof is made of stone slate with coped verges and a parapet on the main range. The building has an L-plan layout, featuring an 18th century front with a long gabled range at right angles to the rear on the right, and late 19th to early 20th century additions in the angle between.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with a plinth, a floor band, and a moulded eaves cornice. It has three bays, with the centre bay slightly projecting and featuring an open pediment at the parapet. The windows include glazing bar sashes in stone surrounds, with 16-paned windows in the centre on the first floor, tripartite windows in the outer bays, and a Venetian window on the ground floor. There is a blind lunette above the open pediment with a defaced Sun Fire Insurance plate. The central entrance is marked by a mid-20th century gabled rubblestone porch over a recessed six-panel door, with the upper four panels now glazed and a wreathed and radiating fanlight above.

Integral ashlar end stacks have moulded dripstones and capping. The range at right angles to the rear features a three-light chamfered mullion window directly below the eaves on the far left, and two-light mullion windows in two gabled false dormers to the right. The ground floor includes a narrow 19th century casement on the far left and a four-light segmental-headed casement to the left of centre. There is a three-light mullion window to the right, alongside a 20th century lean-to that is not of special architectural interest. A prominent ashlar ridge stack with dripstone and capping is located at the centre, with a corbelled external end stack to the right, which appears to cut a possibly reset mullioned window. Additional two- and three-light mullion windows can be found on the garden side.

Inside, the staircase in the stone-flagged central entrance hall features stick balusters, a carved open string, and a wreathed handrail. The ground-floor rooms have chamfered ceiling beams and panelled doors. The late 19th to early 20th century addition at the rear is not of special architectural interest.
