Description
Home Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of cut and squared Ham stone with ashlar dressings and has Welsh slate roofs. The north wing features a high gable that suggests it may have originally had thatch, while the east wing is hipped. The building has brick and stone slab chimney stacks.
The farmhouse has a two-plan layout and stands two storeys tall with an attic. The roadside elevation consists of four bays, with the first bay being the hipped east wing. It features plain mullioned windows with three lights, which have no labels, and rectangular leaded panes. Some windows include iron framed opening lights with wrought iron stays. In the lower part of bay three, there is a six-panelled door set in an open porch with ashlar sides and a pitched slate roof.
The projecting wing has leaded casement windows on both the front and the return, supported by timber lintels. The south elevation has two bays, with three-light leaded casement windows below and two-light windows above. Between these bays is a matching open porch. At the west end of this wing, there is a lean-to, followed by a single-storey dairy building that also features leaded windows. The interior has not been seen.
