Holme House

Holme House is a house built in 1780 for Bernard Clarkson. It features polychrome brick in Flemish bond and has a plain tile roof. The building has a central-hallway entry and is two storeys high with three bays, including a central bay that breaks forward and is topped with a pediment. The entrance has a six-fielded-panel door with a radial fanlight set in a Tuscan doorcase, which includes square-section pilasters, a flower motif on the frieze, and an open pediment. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, all beneath flat rubbed brick arches. A moulded timber cornice and open pediment adorn the top of the house, and stacks rise through the rear pitch of the roof.

Inside, there is a cantilevered open-string staircase with column-on-vase balusters and a ramped handrail. The sitting room features a fine fire surround with acanthus capitals on the pilasters, along with swags and floral motifs on the frieze panels. Fluted alcoves flank the fireplace, with the right alcove containing a doorway. Some six-fielded-panel doors are still present in the interior.
