Description
Holme Farm is an early 19th-century, late Georgian farmhouse located north of Marsh Lane in Ellesmere Port and Neston. This symmetrical, two-storey building is constructed of English garden wall bond brown brick and features graded grey Welsh slate roofs, flush verges, plain eaves, and plain brick chimneys.
The south front has a three-window central section flanked by one-window wings on either side. It features a three-panel front door set in an arched opening with a semi-circular fanlight that has radial glazing bars. The wood casements include single mullions and transoms, with the central block originally having 20 panes and the wings having 16 panes, although some glazing bars have been removed.
On the north face, which faces the farmyard, there is a replacement door in the original opening with a segmental arched sandstone lintel. This side also has a tall 24-pane fixed light window for the staircase and four 16-pane double-hung Georgian sash windows, along with one replacement casement in an enlarged opening. The window heads are flat segmental brick arches.
The farm buildings, also early 19th-century and late Georgian, are two-storey structures with irregular English garden wall bond brown brick walls and graded grey Welsh slate roofs, featuring flush verges and simple eaves. The barn and shippon on the west side of the farmyard have a full-height segmental arched cart entrance with sandstone hinge blocks for double doors that have been removed. The ground floor windows and cow doors have been altered, and there are two circular and one rectangular pitch holes along with diabolo-shaped vents for the loft. The shippon on the north side of the farmyard has boarded doors in segmental arched doorways (some altered) leading to the cowshed, as well as two circular pitch holes and rectangular loading doorways for the hayloft, with diabolo-shaped vents. The farmhouse is connected to the farm buildings by a single-storey brick shed that has a modern corrugated asbestos lean-to roof.
