Description
The barn range at Home Farm is located on the east side of an enclosed yard and dates from the 18th century. It consists of paired barns with a lofted cartshed in a single range, with a pair of pigsties attached to the south and a later single-storeyed shed to the northwest. The structure features lime-washed squared and roughly coursed stonework, with roofing replaced by profile sheeting, except for the pigsty, which retains its stone slab roof.
The barns occupy the northern section of the range and include storage bays with tiered long vents on either side of the paired full-height doors. The two-bay cartshed to the south has contrasting red stone dressings, featuring elegant shallow arched heads with stone voussoirs, supported by fine cylindrical columns and matching half columns with square imposts. There are two dressed stone oculi above the cart bays, and a gable entry to the loft accessed by steps. Beyond the steps are the pigsties, made of roughly coursed rubble stone with traces of lime-wash and a stone flagged roof. The pigsties consist of two sties with paired doorways at the center and vent slits on either side; the pens are stone-walled, with orthostats forming the dividing partition.
The layout is unusual, comprising two independent barns divided by a stone wall, with each threshing bay featuring a stone-slab floor. It is suggested that the barns may have been used to process and store different types of grain.
