Description
Holywell Cottage, adjoining The Stables, is a cottage from the mid to late 18th century that was re-fenestrated and re-roofed in the 19th century. It is built of narrow handmade brick in a random bond and features a Welsh slate roof with rebuilt brick chimney stacks. The cottage has two storeys and three bays. The central doorway is located behind a late 20th-century gabled brick porch, with a small 20th-century casement window above it. The outer bays have window openings with flush painted stone lintels and projecting sills: there is a 12-pane sash window on the right and a large horizontal sliding sash window on the left, with two 16-pane sashes above. The steeply-pitched roof has overhanging eaves and transverse end stacks. A late 20th-century two-storey garage/flat on the right return is not of special interest. The cottage is included for its group value.
