Description
Home Farm at Barrock House is an earlier 19th-century steading range that is long, single-storey, and has an attic, facing southwest and fronting a rectangular inner court. The building is constructed of rubble with tooled rubble dressings. At the center, there is a round-headed arched entrance to the court, which is topped by a stumpy crenellated tower featuring dummy pediments on the front and side wallheads. Above the entrance, there is a bipartite window on the first floor, along with a band course and pigeon flight holes.
To the northwest of the entrance arch, there are seven segmental-headed cart bays with rectangular loft vents above, one of which has been converted into a tall flat-headed entrance that reaches the wallhead. To the southeast, there is a range of three single-storey and attic cottages, which include two three-bay dwellings and one two-bay dwelling, each with two gabletted dormers.
Inside the square courtyard, there is a later gabled and crow-stepped cattle court, which is rectangular and features a segmental-headed entrance, a band course, and a blank date plaque. The building has coped ridges and end stacks, and the roofs are covered with corrugated asbestos.
