Description
The Holly Bush Public House is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a public house. It dates from the early 17th century, with a rear extension added in 1848 and further extensions made in the late 20th century. The building features brick nogged timber framing set on a stone plinth, topped with a thatched roof. It has a central brick chimney and a gable chimney with an octagonal stack. The structure is two stories high with a three-bay front, consisting of ten by two and three irregular small frames. There is a central doorway and an additional doorway inserted at the left end. The windows are three or four-light casements with glazing bars below and small metal casements above. The east gable end displays more regular timber framing and includes a queen post truss. The 19th-century extension at the rear has flat wedged gauged brick heads above the casement windows. Inside, there are two main rooms featuring chamfered ceiling beams. The public bar includes a reset chamfered bressumer to the inglenook and has a continuous bench around the wall, with a small enclosed bar located at the rear.
