Description
Homestead is a house with an 18th-century exterior that likely covers an earlier timber-framed structure. It features a red and blue chequered brick façade and a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys set on a plinth, with a plat band and a hipped roof that includes gablets. There is a projecting hipped wing on the left side. The house has chimney stacks at both the left and right ends. On the first floor, there are three metal casement windows, while the ground floor has two metal casements and a half-glazed door with a raking hood situated in the re-entrant angle between the two wings.
