ULLESTHORPE Home Farm Farmhouse SP58NW 1323-0/3/101 II
Farmhouse. C17, with later alterations; the stone section may in part be medieval. The latter rubble; the rest part timber-framed (concealed) and brick clad, part brick. Roofs of tile and Welsh slate. The building history is complex and uncertain. Principal range, 2 storeys, C17 but much remodelled returns to form a double-depth wing under various roof levels, part C17 and part C19, which presents gabled fronts towards the garden; this in turn connects with a rubble cross-wing that may be late medieval in origin. The main rooms are contained within the principal range. Part of this consists of a converted barn. Farmyard elevation irregular, 4-windows to 1st floor with C20 2 and 3-light casements; pentice roof over doorway and canted bay window, with small single-light window to right. Rear elevation of this range with a regular 2-window disposition under cogged brick eaves cornice, the windows to both floors with segment heads, 2 and 3-light casements, leaded to 1st floor, with external shutters to ground. Gabled porch to centre doorway. The attached former barn irregularly fenestrated in C20. The return of principal range and wing has oversailing corridor above corner entrance with massive ridge stack above; the remainder of this wing towards farmyard with 2 and 3-light casements. The garden front dominated by the end wall of principal range to left (with 2-light 1st and blocked attic windows both under labels and probably C17 with shallow porch to French window below) and, to right, another wing with one window to each floor and attic. Between these flanking gables is a third lower wing similarly fenestrated. To the ridge is an extremely tall stack. Rubble wing, also 2 storeys with attic, the gable wall rebuilt in brick towards garden, has one 2 or 3-light window to each floor except the elevation facing farmyard which is blank under a brick end stack. Interior: rubble wing with chamfered ceiling beams and joists to 1st floor and a roof with very large scarfed side purlins supported on massive raking struts. The attic contains ventillated panelled nesting boxes with eggshelf; various joinery, some with HL hinges. Principal range with mainly unchamfered ceiling beams. Returning wing with large chamfered ceiling beams, one with step stops, and large bressumer to fireplace. Much evidence of timber framing at junction of these ranges. The house stands adjacent to extensive manorial earthworks.
