Description
The Homestead is a house built in 1901 by Edgar Wood. It is a large, asymmetrical detached house made of brick with stone dressings, timber boarding, and a stone slate roof. The house has two storeys plus an attic and features a three-bay elevation. The first bay is gabled and includes an off-centre, two-storey canted bay window with mullion and transom windows on the ground floor and mullioned windows on the first floor. The third bay has a single-storey canted bay window. The house also has two 2-light and three 3-light stone mullion windows. A diagonal chimney stack is corbelled from the first floor level in the second bay. There is a door on the right gable, which has a stone-dressed semi-circular headed keystone surround and a four-light door. Above this door, there is a gabled first-floor room that is supported by two inclined moulded timber struts. A later extension has been added to the rear. The house features good door furniture, rainwater fittings, and internal fittings. It was built speculatively as part of the Richardson Estate.
