Description
Holly Hill Cottage is a building that likely dates from the late 18th century, accompanied by an early 19th-century outbuilding. The cottage is constructed of rubble with roughly-shaped quoins and dressings, while the outbuilding features coursed, roughly-squared stone. Both structures have stone slab roofs and stone stacks. The cottage is a single storey with four irregular bays. It has a boarded door with a 16-pane sash window to the left, and two 4-pane sash windows to the right, the first having a timber lintel and the second with a slightly-projecting sill. There are stacks at each end of the cottage. The outbuilding, which is set back slightly to the left, includes an attached pent pig sty roofed with three large slabs and has a boarded door on the left side. Inside the cottage, there is a plain stone fireplace under a relieving arch.
