Home Farm House is indicated on the 1886 Ordnance Survey map, with a path leading from the drive to the south facade of the house. A circular bed is indicated towards the southern end of the path, and closer to the house it is flanked by a pair of conifers, known from Miss Chichester’s photographs to be monkey puzzles. Construction of the Home Farm House had necessitated the removal of the southern side of a plantation shown in 1842 which served to screen the farm buildings from the Arlington drive and park.
