Description
Falcondale Home Farm is a 19th-century farm complex constructed from rubble stone with yellow brick dressings and slate roofs. The layout forms an L-shape around the south and west sides of a yard, featuring a consistent roof line. The buildings are primarily two-storey, with a single-storey barn included. The farmhouse extends from the rear of the west range, while lower cattle stalls made of similar materials are situated in the center of the yard.
The long south range has a north-facing front with an off-centre gable and a timber bellcote. This gable features a clock roundel at the apex above cambered-headed doors on each floor, all framed in yellow brick. The ranges on either side have square windows with slate sills and brick jambs above, located under the eaves, as well as similar windows below that have yellow brick cambered heads. The windows include timber vent-grilles in place of the lowest three panes, with fixed middle panes and tilting top panes. The left range has four windows above a ground floor arranged with windows and doors in the sequence of door-window-door-window. The right range has a first-floor window to the left, followed by a window, loading door, and another window to the right, above a ground floor of three windows and a door.
The long west range features an east-facing front with large square-headed barn doors at the angle, adorned with stone voussoirs. This leads to a full-height through passage with a flat timber lintel and beams, followed by a four-window range dated 1885, which has an open yellow brick arcade below and four pairs of cambered-headed casements above. To the right is a ridge stack, followed by a whitewashed house range that includes two first-floor cambered-headed casements and a ground floor with a window and door to the left, while the rest is obscured by a single-storey slate-roofed range extending east. Behind the arcaded section is the farmhouse's rear wing, which has a hipped roof to the west, a large ridge stack, and two-storey elevations with modern glazing and textured wall paint. There is also a lean-to attached to the rear wall of the main range, positioned at the angle to the rear wing. The main range roof is hipped at the north end.
