Description
Homebank House is a late 19th-century parsonage-style farmhouse, built as a two-storey, three-bay near-square building with a gabled porch facing the front. There are also single-storey and single-storey-with-attic extensions recessed to one side. The house is constructed of squared and snecked tooled cream sandstone, with dressings of droved sandstone. A raised base course is present in parts, and the eaves are corniced. Droved quoins accentuate the corners, and the window surrounds are also droved, with long and short surrounds to chamfered openings. The ground-floor windows on the front have stylised, corniced hoodmoulds, while the first-floor windows have stylised scroll detail to the cills; other windows have flush cills. First-floor windows break the eaves, topped with ball-finialled, piended caps.
The south-east (entrance) elevation features a gabled and buttressed porch projecting from the centre. The porch has a timber panelled door, a pointed-arch plate glass fanlight, and a pointed-arch hoodmould. Single windows are recessed in the flanking bays at ground level. Single windows break the eaves within piended dormerheads in all bays at the first floor. The single-storey and single-storey-with-attic additions are recessed to the outer left.
The south-west (side) elevation shows a large stair window breaking the eaves centrally; flanking wallhead stacks are also present. A single window is located in the single-storey addition below, and another window is in the bay to the outer right at ground level. A projecting single-storey-with-attic addition, four bays wide, is located to the left of the centre, with a timber door and single windows in the remaining bays at ground level, and two single windows breaking the eaves above.
The north-west (rear) elevation has single windows in all bays at both ground and first floors. A lower addition projects to the outer right, featuring a boarded timber door at ground level.
The north-east (side) elevation is three bays wide, with canted windows at both floors in the bay to the outer left (the upper window breaking the eaves). An off-set single window sits to the right of centre on the first floor. A projecting four-light window is at ground level to the outer right, with a single window breaking the eaves directly above.
The windows are timber sash and case, with plate glass. The roof is of grey slate, with piend and platform sections, ball finials and original rainwater goods. Prominent wallhead and ridge stacks are present, part brick and part sandstone, with various circular cans. The interior was not inspected in 1998.
