Home Farmhouse

Farmhouse, dating from around 1700, and subsequently altered and enlarged. It is a brick building, now painted white, with a red tile roof. The farmhouse has a double-depth plan with a large, single-story extension to the rear. The main front has two storeys and three bays, including a cellar and attic. The symmetrical elevation is fronted by a central doorway, reached by six steps protected by simple wrought-iron railings with curved handrails. The doorway has a moulded cornice supported by brackets, a wooden doorcase, and a pegged panelled door with three glazed upper panels. Either side of the doorway are two segmental-headed cellar windows, with that to the left now blocked. Windows on the main floors are all 16-pane sash windows with exposed boxes, the ground-floor windows having segmental heads. The roof has two flat-roofed dormers with two-light casements. Each gable wall has large external chimney stacks; the left-hand stack has a sash window inserted towards the rear at ground floor, while the right-hand stack shows the gable line of a former granary. The rear elevation features some segmental-headed windows and a prominent flat-roofed dormer rising from the eaves to the right of the centre, positioned above the staircase.

The interior has a former entrance hall between the two principal ground-floor rooms, with a timber-framed partition on the left, though the former partition on the right has been removed. Behind the right-hand room is a shallow, former kitchen with a cross-corner fireplace. High in the rear wall of the kitchen are three long timber pads of unknown purpose. A previous partition wall in the rear of the left-hand room divided the space into a small office in the rear corner and the staircase. The staircase is doglegged, winding around a newel post, with a closed string, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail. Strap and H-L hinges are found on some doors. The cellar consists of four rooms, three with barrel-vault ceilings. The roof is a two-span collar-rafter structure with some carpenter's marks.
