Description
The Dovecote at Home Farm is a two-storey structure with a square plan, built of coursed, dressed limestone and topped with a pyramidal slate roof, although a former cupola is now missing. The north side, which faces the farmyard, features an open front on the lower storey with two wide doorways that have stone segmental heads. The right doorway has added brick jambs and a steel lintel. Above these doorways, there is a central doorway with a flat stone arch. The east and west walls are supported by raked stone buttresses that are set back slightly from the corners, with the east wall partially collapsed. The south wall contains two doorways similar to those on the north side, but these have been infilled with rubble stone, and there is a stub wall between them that once extended to the south. Above this, there is a central oculus.
Originally, the lower storey consisted of two units, but only the stub walls of a former partition remain. The walls are plastered in the lower storey, while in the loft, the plaster extends up to the level of the brick nesting boxes. The roof features machine-sawn, pegged trusses, which have suffered some fire damage.
