Description

Holmstead Cottage is a lodge built around the 1840s, possibly designed by Cunningham and Holme. It is constructed of stone and features a fishscale slate roof. The building is one storey high with an attic and consists of three bays, with the central bay projecting forward. It has a cornice and coped gables supported by corbelled kneelers. The windows are fitted with label moulds and casements. The central bay includes an entrance with a label mould and a lancet window in a half-dormer above, topped with a split finial. There are end stacks with twisted flues, and the right return stack has a blind cross flanked by two lancets. Originally built as a lodge for Holmstead, it is now associated with St. Saviour's Convent.
