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.
Constructed of uncoursed rubblestone with tooled Anglesey limestone dressings; slate roofs with coped verges. North range is longer than south with connecting range making up H-plan. Both main ranges have pedimented gables with oculi; mutiple openings to north range; east gable end of south range has original twin round-headed openings interrupted by inserted doorway to right.
Southern range has king-post roof.
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.
