Description
Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, dating from the early to mid-18th century, with an early 19th-century addition to the front. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with the front rendered in cement and featuring inscribed rustication. The building has a two-span roof, covered with slates on the front range and stone slates on the rear range. It has a double-depth plan, with the 18th-century section at the rear and the early 19th-century section at the front.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, with the front range displaying coped parapeted gable ends and integral brick end stacks that have stone offsets and cornices. The rear range features an integral stone end stack on the left and an external stone end stack on the right. The front facade consists of three bays, with glazing bar sash windows (16-pane on the first floor) that have incised voussoirs, along with a central circular window on the first floor. There is a central half-glazed door, which was obscured by undergrowth at the time of the survey in March 1987.
On the rear side, there are two first-floor 2-light wooden casements with lintels, and three ground-floor casements, including two 2-light windows on the left and one 3-light window on the right, all featuring wooden lintels. There is an old 6-panelled door (with the top panel glazed) located between the first and second windows from the right, accompanied by a rectangular one-light window with a wooden lintel. A gabled timber porch, likely from the 19th or 20th century, is also present. The interior was not inspected.
