History
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.
Exterior
Single-storey cowhouses running along roadside boundary wall (park wall) with higher threshing barn at oblique angle. Both buildings are of reddish brown brick with slate roofs. Multiple door and window openings, some blocked, to cowhouse; central full-height threshing entrance to barn.
Interior
Interior not inspected at time of Survey.
Reason for designation
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.
