In 1993 a historic landscapes took place at Wormshill Estate conducted by Nicola Bannister. Very little is known about Home or Street Farm and its early history. It appears to originate as part of the Manor at Wormshill.
The original house was at right angles to the road and faced the farm yard. Early 19th century extensions faced the road and created a new front. Internal posts and beams are stop chamfered and there is a decorated bracket between post and beam. Some partitions are timber framed with wattle and daub infill. There is a small basement under the extension. (2)
