Description
Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, with origins dating back to the mid-17th century. It was remodeled and extended in the mid-19th century, with later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble and features a stone slate roof.
Originally designed with a three-unit plan and end stacks, the eaves were raised and extended to the right during the 19th century. The house has two storeys and an attic. The 17th-century section includes mid-19th-century tripartite horned sash windows with slightly cambered heads on either side of a central half-glazed door. The first-floor windows are positioned directly below the eaves. There is a narrow rectangular window below the eaves to the right and three gabled dormers located in the middle of the roof slope.
A prominent integral end stack with dripstones and capping is found to the left, along with a similar ridge stack at the junction with the 19th-century addition. This addition features a tripartite horned sash window with a segmental red brick head on each floor and a segmental-headed half-glazed door to the left. A large three-light gabled dormer is situated in the middle of the roof slope.
At the rear, there is a two-storey catslide outshut to the left of the 17th-century part, which includes a three-light wooden mullion window with leaded lights on the ground floor and a gabled chequered red brick projection with pigeon nesting holes at the center of the first floor. An integral lateral red brick stack is located to the left of the outshut. The interior was not inspected during the last survey in May 1987 but is likely to be of interest.
