Description
The Homend is a country house, now divided into tenements, built between 1814 and 1821 by Sir Robert Smirke, noted in Burke and Saville's Guide to Country Houses. The house is constructed of sandstone ashlar with a brick rear wing and features hipped slate roofs. It has a double-depth plan with a central entrance facing west, and a rear wing extending to the east. The building is two storeys high in the outer bays, with the central section having two storeys and an attic. It consists of five bays, with the outer bays featuring a cornice and parapet, glazing bar sash windows with flat arches, and semi-circular arched heads on the ground floor outer bays. A forward projecting glazed porch includes three semi-circular headed openings.
