Description

Home Farmhouse and the farm buildings attached to the northeast corner of Brympton House are a significant 18th-century structure, possibly incorporating earlier elements. The farmhouse is built from Ham stone ashlar and features stone slate roofs with coped gables and stone chimney stacks. It has an L-shaped plan and consists of two storeys with an attic.

The south elevation has eight bays and includes a continuous string course between the floors. The windows are mostly hollow-chamfered mullioned types set in chamfered recesses, with most being two-light. There are four-light windows in both the fifth bay and the lower eighth bay, and a three-light window in the upper eighth bay. The upper windows have labels, and all feature rectangular leaded panes. The third bay projects as a porch, which has a flat-arched doorway and an attic window in the gable. There is a chamfered cambered-arched door between the lower sixth and seventh bays, and a datestone from 1722 is located in the gable of the porch.

The main section of the east return consists of three bays. The first bay is a gable end with a square bay window on the ground floor that has two, four, and two lights, topped with a hipped stone slate roof. The first floor has a three-light window, and the attic features a two-light window, both with labels, along with a circular vent in the roof space. The second bay has a two-light window above and a four-light window below. Following this is a secondary entrance and various farm buildings that rise with the sloping ground, culminating in a two-storey granary with a hipped stone slate roof, featuring doorways at both levels on the east side.

The farmhouse is part of the 1720s addition to Brympton House, making it of considerable historical significance.
