Description
The cattle shed at Home Farm is an L-shaped structure built from rubble stone with a slate roof, positioned to face a yard on the southeast side. The shorter northern wing features a stone segmental-headed doorway on the right and a wide doorway on the left, which is under a brick segmental head and partly infilled to create a window. The longer western wing has two similar brick-headed doorways on the right. On the left side, there are two boarded doors leading to calf cots, with stone buttresses on the inner sides and two small vents beneath the eaves towards the center. A stub wall is located at the left end of this wing.
The southern wing's rear contains a row of four pigsties on the left, topped by a catslide outshut roof. Each pigsty has walled pens and boarded gates set within brick jambs. At the left end, there is a cast iron boiler with a grate and brick flue, which was added in the mid-20th century for boiling swill. To the right of the pigsties is a boarded door with an over-vent that leads to a calf cot. A stub wall is present at the right end, and behind the northern wing, there is a ruined lean-to.
The roof structure includes machine-sawn, pegged trusses with tie beams and raking struts. The three calf cots at the southern end are separated by simple boarding and equipped with brick feeding troughs. The cattle stalls are divided by concrete walls and have concrete mangers.
