Home Farm was established, as the name implies, as the home farm to the Penrhyn Estate soon after Edward Gordon Douglas-Pennant succeeded to the estate in 1840. Douglas-Pennant was a noted agricultural improver and first gave notice to his tenants of his intention to improve the estate through his agent, James Wyatt's address "To the Farming Tenantry of the Penrhyn Estate", printed in 1843. At Home Farm agent and owner combined to create a new farm based on the latest principles of agricultural efficiency.
Roughly coursed rubblestone; slate roof. 3 sash windows on first floor with boarded door to right. Ground floor has segmental-headed doorway and 6-paned sash to right of projecting single-storey gabled range with segmental-headed opening to front and boarded door in right return. Substantial circular red brick chimney on massive base attached to west gable end of main building.
Full-length loft with king-post roof; slate slab floor.
Included as an integral part of the very fine complex of farmbuildings at Home Farm, one of the best-preserved, largest and earliest of the many 'model' farms on the Penrhyn Estate.
