Description
Homelands is an earlier house constructed of coursed limestone rubble, featuring a mid-19th century stuccoed facade and a slate roof. The building is designed in an L-plan and stands two storeys tall. The north elevation is marked by rusticated quoins. On the first floor, there are two sash windows set within architrave surrounds. The ground floor includes a similarly styled sash window on the left side, while a slightly off-centre five-panel door is positioned in reveals. Above the door, there is a cornice supported by consoles with leaf decoration. To the right, a later addition includes a three-light sash window. At the west end, there is a one-storey brick lean-to that features a sash window with glazing bars under a cambered head on its north elevation.
