Description
Holly House, located at 14 Front Street in Tynemouth, is a Grade II listed building that dates from the early 19th century, incorporating elements from a late 18th-century house. The structure features a moulded painted ashlar plinth and is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof with flat stone gable copings and two end brick chimneys, one of which has an ashlar cornice.
The building has a basement, two storeys, and five windows. The central entrance consists of a 9-panelled door with an overlight, set within an architrave. There is also a 9-panelled door in the basement located in the fourth bay. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are topped with painted wedge stone lintels, and the ground-floor features projecting sills along with a sill band on the first floor. An eaves gutter board is present as well.
At the rear, a wing shows ground-floor lintels with false keystones and includes a central porch with a later upper storey. Inside, there is Gothic-style glazing around the inner entrance door and a tall square-headed landing door with a blocked overlight that once provided access to the roof of the porch. The walls feature painted stone coping that extends from the ends of the house, transitioning into a straight section that ramps down to square piers topped with cornices and low pyramidal caps.
