By 1906 when The Homestead was completed, C F A Voysey had a leading reputation in Britain and Europe as by far the most active and best known domestic architect of the Arts and Crafts movement. The Homestead was designed to meet the requirements of its bachelor owner, with facilities to accommodate three or four weekend guests. The house wraps around its rear garden, sheltering it from exposure to the street, but it is also left open to views of the sea to the south.
