Description

Nos 1 and 2 Home Farm Cottages are a pair of bilaterally symmetrical cottages built from rubble stonework and topped with a red tile roof. They are two storeys high, with each cottage featuring two bays and a central entrance. The entrance has a boarded door set within an open timber framed and gabled porch. The main living room has a three-light timber window, while the other windows are similar two-light designs, all fitted with stone lintels. The inner bay of both cottages is combined under a large gable that contains the datestone, while each outer bay is covered by a smaller gable. Tall brick stacks rise from the roof.
