Listed Building record MDO8910 - Home Farmhouse, Chapel Street, Milborne St Andrew

Farmhouse thought possibly to have been built with materials from the demolished Milborne House. A date stone over the front door reads 'TB 1804'. The front walls of the building are of banded flint and stone with brick dressings, and the other walls are of cob covered in plaster. It has a thatched roof with brick chimney stacks.

‘(12) HOUSE (80189752), 150 yds. N.E. of the church, of two storeys with an attic, has an E. front of banded flint and ashlar and other walls of rendered cob; the roof is thatched. The front is symmetrical and of three bays, with a central doorway and casement windows with segmental brick heads. A stone over the doorway is inscribed T.B. 1804. The type of masonry used in the E. front would suggest that the house was of the 17th century, but the use of cob in the other walls, and the symmetrical ground plan, confirm that the house is of 1804. The materials for the banded flint and ashlar front probably came from Milborne House (see (3)) which was pulled down in 1802.’
