Home Farmhouse And Attached Dairy Wing To Rear

Home Farmhouse, dating from the early 17th century and remodelled in the mid 18th century, is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features a slate roof with stone end stacks. The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, presenting a three-window range. The central entrance consists of a ledged and studded door, hinged in the middle, set within a moulded wood surround that has tear drops at the base, and an overlight above, all framed by a two-storey low gabled stone porch. This porch includes an ironstone doorway with a four-centred head, cut spandrels, and a hood mould, along with a sundial dated 1853. On the first floor, there is a two-light leaded timber oriel window supported by stone brackets, and the eaves are moulded wood with ironstone quoins. Flanking the porch are three-light leaded casement windows on both the ground and first floors, all with timber lintels, except for the ground floor right window, which has a flat arch. To the left, a lower two-storey wing features a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor, a back door, and two- and three-light casements on the first floor. A long single-storey dairy wing projects to the rear.

Inside, the farmhouse showcases stop-chamfered spine beams, an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer, and a dog-leg staircase with turned balusters. There is also a built-in early or mid 18th-century bureau with a glazed cupboard above. The parlour features an 18th-century timber chimneypiece with a carved frieze and a fitted cupboard with shaped shelves and a semi-coved head adorned with ornamental carving, flanked by pilasters. A lead cistern inscribed "GF/1788" can also be found. The building was formerly roofed with stone slates, with some ridge tiles still surviving.
