Home Farmhouse And Adjoining Stable Block, Opposite The Old Post Office

Home Farmhouse and adjoining stable block date from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with a 19th-century extension. The stable block is also 18th century. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed squared and finely dressed limestone, the 19th-century extension of coursed squared and dressed limestone, and the stable block of coursed squared and dressed limestone. All have concrete tile roofs.

The farmhouse has a rectangular plan, with the 19th-century extension projecting slightly at the right gable end. A stable block is set into the left gable end. The farmhouse has a flat, chamfered plinth, and is two storeys and an attic, with two 20th-century two-light dormers illuminating the attic space. The front elevation features four windows; the upper floor has cross windows with wooden mullions and transoms. The ground floor has a similar window, replaced on the left by a 2-light metal casement. A three-light metal casement sits far right. A 19th-century part-glazed door is located within a 19th-century open-sided gabled wooden porch. A two-light stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood is found on the rear. The 19th-century extension is 1½ storeys high, with a chimney gablet at the front left. It has a single 19th-century half-dormer and two windows to the ground floor, within cambered-headed surrounds. A shuttered pitching window is positioned lower right, also with a cambered head. A plank door to the rear loft suggests that the right-hand end of this building was formerly used for storage.

The stable block, partially rebuilt and converted for domestic use in the 20th century, is single-storey with a loft. Features include a blocked single-width doorway with a timber lintel and blocked triangular ventilation holes. Stone steps with brick treads and two landings lead up to a 20th-century plank doorway and a raking roof to the loft at the rear. A 19th-century plank door is located to the right of the steps, alongside a 20th-century three-light metal casement and part-glazed door. A 20th-century rendered dormer projects from the eaves. Flat coping and stacks with moulded cappings are situated at the gable ends. Interiors were not inspected.
