The Homestead

The Homestead is a house located in Grafty Green, believed to date from the 16th century or earlier, with a facade added in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The building is timber framed, with the ground floor featuring patched red and grey brick in an irregular bond, and the first floor covered in banded plain and fishscale tiles. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high, topped with a steeply pitched hipped roof. There is a red brick stack on the rear slope of the roof, positioned off-centre to the right, and a projecting stack to the left. The windows are arranged irregularly, consisting of four casements: three with two lights and one with three lights. A ribbed door is located in a gabled brick porch, which is slightly to the left of the stack and dates from the 19th or 20th century. There is a rear wing to the right and a rear lean-to to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
