Description

Homington House is a detached house built in the early 19th century, with a west wing added in the late 19th century and a matching east wing constructed around 1930. The building features painted Flemish bond brickwork, an ornamental tiled roof, and brick stacks, forming an L-plan structure. It is two stories high with a four-window front.

The entrance, located to the left of the center, has a six-panelled door topped with a segmental hood supported by carved brackets and flanked by grooved pilasters. On either side of the door are round-arched sash windows; to the left is a two-light casement with a segmental head, while to the right are two small fixed windows, the right one adorned with a moulded lion's head above the round arch, and to the left is a half-glazed door. The first floor features two bullnose brick plat bands, two 16-pane sashes and a casement to the left, and one round-arched sash to the right.

The right side of the house serves as the garden front, showcasing flanking projecting wings with half-hipped roofs. Each wing has two 24-pane sashes with moulded lion's heads above on the ground floor. The center three bays include a half-glazed door with a 20th-century pediment and a 24-pane sash on either side. The first floor has two bullnose brick bands, Venetian-style casements in the wings with lion's heads above, and two 12-pane sashes in the center. The attics of the wings each contain a round-arched niche.

An attached flat-roofed 20th-century garden room is located on the right side. The left return has a lean-to ground floor with casements. The rear of the house features a central half-glazed door with three-light casements on the ground floor and a mix of sashes and casements on the first floor. Inside, the house retains original fittings, including newel stairs in the early 19th-century range.
