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. Roughly central threshing entrance on north with 8 tall ventilation slits to right and to left alternating doors and louvre-ventilated windows (4 in total) on ground floor with boarded door to loft above. South side is mainly obscured by attached 2-storey building with chimney; substantial stone lean-to attached to west gable end.
Loft to eastern end. King-post roof and 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.
