Home Farm Poultry Houses

Home Farm poultry houses, built in 1868 for the Birdsall Estate, are poultry houses constructed from limestone ashlar with iron railings and a Welsh slate roof. The building is U-shaped, featuring a 6-bay spinal range and 2-bay cross wings with square pavilions at the corners. The yard is divided in half and enclosed on the fourth side by a wall. There is an oval enclosure at the front, which may have been a former trough. The structure consists of single-storey ranges and 2-storey pavilions.

The spinal range includes 6 stable doors and 3 fixed windows. Each pavilion has a board door leading to the yard, with fixed windows above, and a pyramidal roof topped with a wooden turret, cupola, and finial. The left cross wing features a board door with two 2-light sliding sashes to the left and a ridge stack. The right cross wing has 2 stable doors, each with a fixed window to the left. The dividing wall, front wall, and wall surrounding the trough are all 3-5 courses high, with flat buttresses and coping. There are railings on the dividing wall and the front wall. The poultry houses were disused at the time of the resurvey and were funded by the 1868 "Improvement Fund."
