Description

Home Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse that was formerly an outbuilding. It features brick walls laid in Flemish bond with a regular pattern of burnt headers. The roof is tiled and has decorative tile cresting, with a brick stack positioned to the right of the center. The building has a T-shaped plan and includes a cellar below. It is one storey high, possibly with attics, and has five windows that are vertical sashes with wooden glazing bars. There is also a 20th-century Palladian window on the south side. Notably, there is graffiti reading "Rose Larcombe 1792" on the inner jamb of the right-hand window. The farmhouse is included for its group value.
