Description
Holly Bush Cottage is a lodge-type cottage built around 1820 in a Tudor style. It is constructed of red sandstone random rubble and features a grey slate roof. The cottage has a cross-wing on the left and a two-cell wing on the right, standing at one and a half storeys. The cross-gable has prominently stop-splayed corners and includes one cast-iron lattice casement window on each storey; the lower window has three lights and the upper has two lights, both set under labels with steeply-sloping cills. The right wing contains a four-panel shaped door set in a Tudor archway under a label. The building has a projecting stone plinth, coped gables with stone finials, and a ridge chimney with a brick stack on a stone plinth. The right end gable, which is also stop-splayed like the cross-gable, features a damaged three-light cast-iron casement window on the upper storey. The rear part of the cottage is pebbledashed. The interior has not been inspected.
