Home Farmhouse And Attached Railings

Home Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed from regularly coursed marlstone rubble and features a stone slate roof with coped verges on the right gable end, while the rear has concrete tiles and slates from 19th-century additions. The building has a T-plan layout, consisting of a 17th-century main range and an early 19th-century gabled addition to the rear, which was extended in the mid-19th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic. It has chamfered mullion windows with dripstones, with two on each floor to the left and right, all consisting of three lights, except for the left bay which has two lights. There is a roughly central 19th-century segmental-arched doorway with a recessed half-glazed door, and a straight joint is visible to the left on the first floor. The roof features two gabled leaded dormers located in the middle of the slope.

The left gable end has an integral end stack and a ridge stack with paired and rebated shafts, a dripstone, and moulded capping aligned with the straight joint; there is also a 20th-century ridge stack on the right. The right gable end includes a 19th-century lean-to and a three-light mullion window with a dripstone in the attic. The outline of an earlier roof pitch or a former attached outbuilding can be seen on the left gable end.

At the rear, there is a four-centred arch with a plank door to the left and a three-light mullion window with a label-stop, which is cut by the early 19th-century addition; there is also an infilled rectangular window on the first floor to the left. The mid-19th-century extension to the early 19th-century gabled range has horned glazing bar sash windows on each floor on the south side.

In front of the farmhouse, there are attached early 19th-century wrought-iron spear-shaped railings on a low stone wall. The interior was not accessible during the last survey in August 1987, but it is likely to be of interest.
