Summary
Home Farm has a fire gable of flint and reused limestone. A portion of a timber frame remains and the property stands two storeys high. The house probably dates to the 16th/17th century but was refaced in the 18th century and heightened around 1900. A former loose group of barns to the immediate north (the survivors of a larger complex) were all of later date, with some modern elements, but have been demolished.
