Description
Home Farmhouse, built in the mid 18th century, is a farmhouse that includes an attached malthouse and barn, constructed from rubble stone with stone tiled and slate roofs. The south front range, dating from the early 19th century, is two stories high and features a low-pitched hipped roof with ashlar corniced stacks at the ridge and east end wall. It has a moulded eaves cornice and a three-window range with 20th-century small paned windows. The central entrance is an enclosed ashlar porch supported by Tuscan columns, and there is an arched window on the east end wall. The west wall includes a three-light stone-mullion window with a hood, which is part of an earlier building.
The front range extends across the mid 18th-century mansard-roofed and stone-tiled range, which has an ashlar stack at the east end and is two stories tall, though its front is obscured. At right angles to this, linked to the rear of the 19th-century range, is a two-story and attic mansard-roofed section with one window, featuring a north end stack and a half-hipped south end.
On the west front, there is a dormer and three-light stone-mullion windows with hoods, long mullions, and hollow chamfers on both the first and ground floors. A door to the right is set in a chamfered surround, and there is an ashlar corniced porch with a parapet and a Tudor archway.
To the rear is the former malthouse range, which runs north and features a mansard roof covered with stone tiles, pantiles, and corrugated iron. This section is two stories high and has a projecting coped gable with a saddlestone adjoining the house, along with a boarded gable opening and a door on the first floor. The ground floor south side has a blocked small moulded stone single light, while the north side has a door and window. Attached to the north end is a further stone barn with a tiled roof, a coped gable at the north end with a saddlestone, and a moulded stone single light in the gable apex.
