Home Farm Cottage

Home Farm Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 17th century and was heightened around 1800, with later alterations including a late 19th-century outshut. The building is constructed of rubble and rendered, topped with a concrete tile roof. It has a single depth plan with a half-width rear outshut and stands two storeys tall with three windows. The entrance is off-centre, flanked by 20th-century canted bay windows, while above are three 12-pane sash windows. The brick gable end stacks feature weathering.

The rear elevation includes modern and 19th-century windows, as well as a pent porch. The roofline is lower at the back, with small upper floor windows; the centre window is a 2-light casement in its original frame, complete with a central timber mullion. Inside, the original two-cell through passage plan is evident. The ground floor rooms feature spine beams, though these have been plastered over. A bressummer beam has been hacked back, and there is an inglenook with an original stair concealed to the left. A late 19th-century staircase is located in the outshut.

On the first floor, one room that was originally open to the roof is now ceiled. The roof structure includes principal rafters with collars and staggered purlins, with the principals halved and pegged at the apex. The rear slope retains its original rafters, while the front slope shows evidence of heightening from around 1800, although mid-20th-century reroofing obscures some surviving timbers. One principal truss is closed, indicating that the attic has been floored from the beginning.
