Description
Home Farmhouse is a mid-17th century farmhouse constructed from coursed lias rubble, topped with a 20th-century plain tiled roof. The building features a two-unit lobby-entry plan, with a rear wing that forms an L shape. It has a two-window range of casements, each with wooden lintels, and a large brick and stone chimney stack at the ridge. The entrance to the lobby is located at the rear, featuring a plank and braced door under a wooden lintel. The rear wing, dating from the late 17th century, is similar in style to the front range and is attached to barns that include a three-light stone mullioned oriel window on the right, which has a flat top. The barn roof has been replaced with a single pitch covered in 20th-century corrugated asbestos. Inside, there is an open fireplace with a moulded bressumer in the ground floor outbuilding below the oriel, and another open fireplace with a plain arched head in the kitchen. Additionally, there is a fielded panelled dado in the room to the left of the entrance.
