Description
The Homestead is a house built around 1905-1906, designed by C.F.A. Voysey for A.C. Turner. It features rough rendered brick with stone window surrounds and mullions, and has green slate roofs. The building is L-shaped and consists of two storeys with attics in the gables. The east side faces Second Avenue and includes an off-centre chimney turret with windows on both floors. The first floor has three three-light windows, while the ground floor has four vari-light windows, all of which are square leaded and have tiled pentices above them.
On the north side facing Holland Road, there is a tall double gable on the left and two feature gables on the right, with off-centre external rough rendered chimney stacks. The left gable has an attic window, and the first floor has a 2:1:1 arrangement of vari-light windows, with 1:6 vari-light windows on the ground floor, similar to the east face. A pilaster is located to the left of a six-light window.
Access to the house is via a flagstone path leading to a round-headed porch arch with red tiles, which has three steps leading into the porch and a vertically boarded door. The building also features wooden gutters supported by iron brackets and has a single-storey extension to the right with a hipped roof and a vertically boarded door.
