Home Farm, 1841. Stable and offices in neo-Tudor quadrangle harled with granite margins; five-gabled east range has a rhythm reminiscent of Smith. Includes a square doocot-tower of ecclesiastical mien with pyramid roof and kennels, cruciform in plan, which are unaltered: a superb complex.

The Home Farm at Fetternear is not a farmsteading as the name implies, but a purpose-built complex of stables, kennels, coach-house and other ancillary structures, including a dovecote and walled garden. Part of the complex is still occupied but the remainder is either empty or used for storage.
A sales brochure of 1932, provides particulars (part of lot 61, p. 43) of the complex.
