20th-century Modernist house and garden
20th-century house and garden designed by the architect Patrick Gwynne reflecting the style and ethos of the Modern Movement.

Guided tours
As The Homewood is a tenanted property, we're only able to open for guided tours on certain days. Tours are popular, so we recommend you book in advance.
Conservation work
Patrick Gwynne's wish was that the house should always take advantage of the latest technologies. So between 23 April and 1 July there'll be some scaffolding up while we work on making the house more eco-friendly.
Our collection
Nearly everywhere you look around The Homewood, you'll be treated to a wonderful collection of furniture and fittings inspired by the Modernist movement.
