Holly Cottage

Holly Cottage is a cottage, likely from the early 17th century, that has been altered over time. It features an oak frame with brick and pebbledash, topped by a steeply pitched clay tile roof that was probably originally thatched. The cottage has one storey plus an attic and small casement windows, mostly of a 19th-century vernacular style. The left gable displays exposed oak framing and has a flush gable chimney; this chimney was once a central ridge chimney before the adjoining cottage to the left was demolished around 1965.

Inside, there is a stopped ovolo beam supported by a shaped bracket at the rear, along with an altered inglenook where the lower edge of the oak bressumer has been partly cut away to increase headroom. The oak joists are lightly chamfered, and small framing is visible at the rear of the parlour and bedroom, as well as on the gable walls upstairs. A tie-beam in the left gable-end rests on a jowled bracket above the bedroom floor level, which can be seen externally, suggesting that Holly Cottage may have originally been part of an open-hall dwelling that included the now-demolished neighbouring cottage.
