Home Farm Farmhouse

II

Barn with integral stables, byre and dovecote. Earlier C18, built as part of
Kippax Park home farm. Magnesian limestone rubble with quoins, stone slate
roof. Large rectangular 7-bay plan, effectively double-depth by inclusion of
stables and byre on the south side (to the yard), the roof carried down over
them, with a short wing continued at each end of this side under the same
roof. The centre bay of the south side is a porch formed by the void between
the stables and the byre, leading to a segmental-headed wagon arch with
double doors, the approach flanked by flights of stone steps set on hand-made
brick which lead to loft doors. To the left and right are the stables and
byre respectively, each with 2 doors and 2 windows at ground floor (a,b,b,a,
and a,b,a,a) and 3 blocked square windows above. The north side (the
architectural front) has a slightly projected gabled centre bay containing a
round-headed wagon arch with impost bands, voussoirs, a cruciform breather
each side, and an oculus in a oeil-de-boeuf in the pediment; otherwise, slit
breathers at ground floor and cruciform above. Hipped roof with a small
opening to the dovecote in the centre of the south side. Former cottage at
west end demolished.

Interior: 9 queen-post roof trusses; centre bay lofted with very large
chamfered beams supporting a lath and clay floor to the dovecote.
