Description
Holeyn Hall is a country house, dating to 1851 with additions in 1858 by John Dobson. It has been subdivided into two separate houses. The building is constructed of ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a two-story, double-span main block and a projecting rear wing, along with a three-story, single-bay tower. The garden front has six bays, with a one-bay tower on the left. The corners of the building feature raised alternating quoins. The main block has windows in raised surrounds with mid-jamb projections; the ground floor windows contain four-pane sashes, while those above have twelve panes. The somewhat later tower has a large tripartite French window within an architrave with a cornice supported by brackets. First and second floor windows in the tower are two-light windows within architraves. A sill band runs to each floor, topped by a cornice and balustrade across the entire front.
A doorway on the rear, likely dating from the later 19th century, is round-headed, with closely-set radiating glazing bars in the fanlight. It has a finely-moulded eared architrave with a keystone and a cornice above. The roofs are hipped, with three corniced stone ridge stacks and one external stack on the left wall of the tower.
