Johnston's Cottage and Farm Buildings of Home Farm

The house stands at the NW corner of the farmyard group, which is in the form of an open square, forming a U-plan partly open to the N. The S range continues E beyond the enclosing E range, and a 3-bay cartshed extends from the N end of the E range to the E, thus forming a second open square facing E. The E range spans a covered cartway at the centre of the E side.

Johnston's Cottage is of stone with a slate roof, 2-storeys and attics, 3-bays, with a lean-to at the E gable end. Central boarded door and 5-light cross-pattern overlight. Three-light transomed timber windows to each main floor, with segmental heads to the openings. Three dormer windows to the attics. Gable stacks. A secondary entrance is lateral to the W gable end.

The farm ranges are all similar, comprising rubble stone walls for the ground floor, with various openings, but the E range, W face is of stone flanking the open side to the N. The upper stage is of timber framing, square panels infilled with painted brick. A large cartway opens from the yard into the S range, which is a barn to the E, and cow-house to the W. The E range contains further cow-housing S of the cartway, and stabling to the N. The S range extends E of the E range, and includes some accommodation, with one brick stack and a lean-to porch, the N front being of rubble stone with ashlar dressings, and radiused voussoired 3-centred arch. The central cartway of the E range has straight angle braces to the continuous wall plates. Above the cartway, a open timberwork lantern with a gilded windvane on the pyramidal roof. The cartshed of 1905 is of stone, with 3 bays open to the S. The yard is partly cobbled.
