Description

Holmside Hall Farmhouse with an attached wall is an early 19th-century house that incorporates fragments from the medieval period, with later alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior features painted render and ashlar dressings, while the rear is made of thinly-rendered sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with graduated slates and has stone gable copings.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of three bays. There are steps leading up to a central renewed door with a high overlight, both set in a plain stone surround. The outer bays feature tripartite sash windows, all with similar plain stone surrounds and margined lights. A first-floor sill band runs across the front. The roof is supported by moulded kneelers and has flat gable copings, with banded end chimneys. At the rear, there is a one-storey, two-bay wing that likely includes a medieval battered wall in its left return.

The attached wall at the left front corner of the house extends to the left, separating the garden from the entrance track. It features a flat stone lintel over a boarded door in a raised section next to the house.
