Building record 445/0/31 - Home Close & Attached Barn, Main Road

{1} House. C17 and C18. Datestone 17-/E- on side facing the road. Coursed ironstone rubble, tile roof, brick stacks. Originally a block running north-south, consisting of house and probably the attached barn. It was remodelled in the C18 and an extension built projecting from the front to form a T-plan. Section to right, 2 storeys; 3 bays. Entrance to left of centre has wood lintel and C20 glazed door. 2-light transomed casement window with wood lintel to left, similar 3-light window to right. 2-light transomed casement windows with wood lintels in outer bays on the first floor. The window in the right bay has chamfered moulded stone jambs, probably the remains of a C17 window. One-light casement window with wood lintel in the centre on first floor. Coped right gable end with kneelers. Extension projecting to left, C18 is of similar materials; two storeys and attic; 2 bays. 3-light transomed casement windows with wood lintels to both floors, moulded stone cornice, coped gable ends. 2 bays of main block to left of projecting wing, have 2-light casement window with wood lintel to left bay.

{3} Phasing of house and detached barn to west. Detailed phasing of house indicates that the long north-south range is mainly of 17th century date (with some 18th century rebuilding) and the east-west range is an 18th century extension. Internally, in the 'best-room' there is raised and fielded panelling, probably mid-18th century and a stop-chamfered axial beam . Also includes a large inglenook. There is a possible former oven in the kitchen.
