House. Formerly part of the endowment of Downing College Cambridge, made 1764 by Sir Jacob Downing. Since the endowment derived from Wrestlingworth consisted of two thirds of Hereford's Manor (VCH, III, p257), Home Farmhouse may possibly be the former manor house.

C16 or earlier, with C18 and C19 reworkings. Substantial timber framed structure clad in colourwashed render. Slate roofs. Hall and cross-wings. Two storeys. Central block said to have some smoke blackened roof timbers, so that first floor and chimney may be later insertions.

South elevation: central block has casements with glazing bars, ground floor ones of one and three-lights, first floor ones of five and two light. Left Hand gable has four-light casement to ground floor and sash with glazing bars to first floor. Right Hand gable has sash window with glazing bars to each floor. Central block has six-panel door, top pair glazed, surmounted by flat bracketed hood. This is in cross-passage position and is in line with canted bay containing French window to rear elevation. Substantial red brick multiple ridge stack serving back-to-back hearth. Cross-wings have external brick stacks to side elevations. Left Hand cross-wing has later lean-to addition of colourwashed brick and slates.
