Dairy Farm Cottage Home Farm

Dairy Farm Cottage and Home Farm are two cottages formed from a former farmhouse and adjoining barn. The origins of the building date back to the early to mid-16th century and have undergone significant alterations in the 19th century and around 1950, with Home Farm renovated in 1987. The construction is largely of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with some stone rubble and brick patching. Stacks are of stone rubble and brick with 19th and 20th-century brick tops, and the roof is thatched.

The cottages face south-east and occupy a long block built down a hillslope, with Home Farm situated on the uphill (south-west) end. Home Farm has a two-room plan, each room heated by an axial stack, the right one shared with the room beyond in Dairy Farm Cottage. Dairy Farm Cottage has a three-room plan, with a rear corner stack to the right end room. The current layout primarily reflects a 20th-century subdivision and conversion of a farmhouse and barn, with the original farmhouse comprising the two rooms of Home Farm and the adjacent room of Dairy Farm Cottage. The remainder of Dairy Farm Cottage is a converted barn. Originally, the farmhouse was an open hall house heated by an open hearth fire.

Both cottages are two storeys high, with 20th-century service outshots to the rear. The external appearance is of an irregular six-window front. Most of the left three windows (the former farmhouse) contain 19th-century casements with rectangular leaded panes of glass. A half-dormer window on the first floor of Home Farm has a thatch swept over in a semicircular arch. The remaining windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars. Both cottage front doorways are 20th-century, with contemporary thatched-roofed gabled porches. The roof is continuous over both cottages and half-hipped at each end.

The interior features plain carpentry detail with some 20th-century elements. A single side-pegged jointed cruck roof truss, smoke-blackened from the original open hearth fire, remains in Home Farm as a 16th-century feature.
