Home Farmhouse

The Home Farmhouse is a cottage orné dating to 1845-6. Rainwaterheads inscribed "HCH 1845 DN" with a coronet, and a date panel with a coronet and Norfolk monogram, indicate the involvement of Henry-Charles Howard, the 12th Duke of Norfolk. The building is constructed of unusual nodular flint with galletting, set against Pulborough stone quoins, plinth, and dressings. It has a pitched slate roof with coped gable ends finished with ashlar. The chimneys are particularly distinctive, featuring five square stacks with cornicing, each built on a diagonal square plinth with battered and coved cornices.

The farmhouse is arranged as a single storey with attics, with three bays to the north and south elevations. The central bay of each elevation projects forward and rises into an exaggeratedly steep gable. The north elevation features a door with two moulded panels and arched lights set within a recessed 4-centred arch. Mullioned windows with casements and glazing bars are set within chamfered reveals in the flanking bays. The central gable features a coping that horizontally returns at the base and is carried onto kneelers, with a casement window below. Dormer windows are set over each flanking bay, matching the style with pitched slate roofs, horizontal returns, kneelers, Pulborough stone fronts, slight corbelling, and casement windows with glazing bars.

The south elevation mirrors the north, but with different ground floor openings. The door has ten moulded panels, and is flanked by two windows with transoms and glazing bars, all beneath a hood mould with grotesque label stops. Flanking bays are canted with battered Pulborough stone roofs, battered sill courses, and coved cornices, featuring casement windows with transoms. One-storey extensions extend to the east and west, both with pitched slate roofs, coped gable ends, and similar detailing to the main body of the farmhouse. The east and west elevations each feature a single two-light mullioned window with casements and glazing bars, flanked by two single-light lancets, with a single-light lancet in the gable end, all with chamfered reveals. A modern garage door is incorporated on the north elevation of the east extension, while a 5-panelled bolt headed door in a 3-centred arch occupies the north elevation of the west extension, again with chamfered reveals. The south elevations of both extensions have a single casement window with deep chamfered reveals.

The Home Farmhouse forms a group with associated farm buildings, a pumping house, and a bridge, alongside retaining walls for pools.
