Home Farmhouse And Attached Stableblock

Home Farmhouse and attached stableblock dates from the late 17th to mid-18th century, with a mid- to late-19th-century addition and stable block. The main body is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, with a stone slate roof and a grey brick stack on the roof pitch facing Mill Street; the rear has a concrete tile roof. A 19th-century extension is of red brick and limestone with a concrete tile roof and red brick stacks. The stables are of coursed squared and dressed limestone with a concrete tile roof.

The building has a rectangular plan, with the 19th-century extension set at right angles to the rear left. A stable block is attached to the right gable end of the main body. A slate-roofed lean-to at the rear of the main body is not considered to be of special interest. The main farmhouse is two storeys and an attic, with dormers added in the late 20th century. The symmetrical, three-windowed front elevation features 2- and 3-light metal casement windows with horizontal glazing bars; two-light stone-mullioned casements are on the first floor. A decorative band runs between the floors, continuing around the left gable end. The central entrance is a 20th-century plank door with pilasters and imposts. A projecting bread oven is a shallow lean-to projecting from the right gable end. The left gable end has two-light casements, with a stopped hood over the first-floor windows, and a mullioned garret light.

The mid- to late-19th-century extension, facing Bowbridge Lane, is one-and-a-half storeys high and has two raking roof dormers. It features a 2-light and a 3-light casement to the ground floor, both with transoms within segmental-headed surrounds incorporating dressed limestone. Incised foliate carving fills in the segments above each window. The stable block has segmental-headed doorways and windows, and a single 20th-century casement facing Mill Street. Architectural features include flat coping and a roll-cross saddle at the left gable end. The rear extension has axial stacks. The interior has not been inspected.
