Home Croft Imdina

Home Croft and Imdina are a pair of houses built at right angles to Brownstone Street in Modbury around 1840. They were constructed at the same time as the nearby Philosophical Institute and face across its forecourt. The houses have a smooth rendered exterior and a slate roof. The front has a 12-pane sash window flanked by blind openings on both the ground and first floors, with a small lunette window in the gable above and a large chimney stack. The central portion of the façade projects slightly and features a plinth, two horizontal bands, and a raking course to the gable.

The main front has 3 windows on one side and 2 on the other, with large 16-pane sashes on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes above, all framed with horizontal bands and pilasters, and projecting approximately 50mm from the corners. A 20th-century glazed door is located in the second bay, and there is a good 19th-century 6-panel part-glazed door in the fourth bay. Deep box eaves and two tall ridge stacks are present. The rear elevation is similar in appearance to the front, but without the pilasters or bands. Shutters are fitted to the ground floor windows. The design is considered deliberate and the exterior has not been altered.
