Description
Holroyd is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations from the 18th century. It is constructed of irregular coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with yellow brick chimneys. The building has two low storeys and two windows. The central entrance is a six-panel door set in a stop-chamfered stone surround with a moulded square head. The windows have flat stone lintels and flat stone sills, and the house has end chimneys.
Inside, there is a three-panel door leading to a room on the right of the entrance. This room contains 18th-century doors with butterfly hinges on small square cupboards located to the right of the fireplace and on the front wall. Other doors feature L-hinges. A late 18th-century dog-leg stair with a ramped handrail is supported by stick balusters. At the rear, there is an outshut with a two-light chamfered stone window, each light featuring two diagonally-set iron bars.
