Range Of Farm Buildings Around Farmyards To North And North East Of Home Farmhouse

This is a range of farm buildings located around two farmyards to the north and north-east of Home Farmhouse, likely originating in the 18th century but remodeled and extended in the mid to late 19th century. The buildings feature stone rubble and cob walls, with roofs made of slate, corrugated iron, and asbestos sheeting, showcasing both gabled and hipped ends.

In the south-west corner, adjacent to the west farmyard, is Home Farmhouse. Next to the farmhouse is a long, early 19th-century, 8-bay cob linhay with a corrugated asbestos roof and an open front facing the yard. On the west side of the yard, there is another linhay from the late 19th century, featuring an open 6-bay front supported by five red brick piers.

To the north side of the west yard stands an earlier barn, likely a late 19th-century remodel of an 18th-century structure, constructed of stone rubble with a gable-ended slate roof and opposing double doors. The doorway facing the yard has projecting cheeks and a chamfered wooden frame. Behind this barn, to the north, is a 19th-century horse engine house.

Adjoining the east side of the barn are a 19th-century root house, a small linhay, and a cider house that contains a cider press. At the center of the east side of the west yard, there is a late 19th-century granary building with a cartway that passes through a wall separating the two yards.

On the north side of the east yard, there is a range of shippons, which includes a 4-bay linhay at its east end that returns for another 8 bays, enclosing the east end of the yard. On the south side of the east yard, there is another cob range, likely used as stables or a shippon, backing onto the yard, with a corrugated asbestos roof extending over a cartway at its west end, adjacent to the linhay on the south side of the west yard. Attached to the east end of the shippon is a low building with a tall red brick chimney stack, which is said to have been a slaughterhouse. The interiors of the buildings were not inspected.
