Description
Holly Tree Cottage is a farmhouse and shippon, now a cottage, likely dating from the 18th century. The building is rendered, probably over brick or stone, and features a gabled thatched roof. It has one storey plus attic bedrooms and is a derivative of a longhouse design. There are 19th-century vernacular wood casements on each side of a replaced boarded door. The front has one rounded-gabled thatched dormer and a casement window in the left gable. A brick ridge chimney is located opposite the doorway, with another chimney on the left gable. The former farm building makes up the right half of the structure and includes two boarded doors, with the outer door divided. There are small casement windows in the lower storey of the right end gable, along with a boarded loading door above. An oak-framed wall separates the cottage from the farm building, featuring an oak truss with angled struts. The interior of the cottage has not been inspected.
