Holderness Inn

The Holderness Inn is an inn dating from the early 18th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of brick, which is stuccoed and incised to imitate ashlar, and features a pantile roof. The building has a double-depth plan, originally designed with a two-room layout and a central entrance hall at the south front, although the hall is now open to the left room. The inn is two storeys high with an attic and has five bays, including a wide central bay, arranged symmetrically.

The entrance features a recessed six-fielded-panel door with a plain overlight, set within a wooden architrave beneath a channelled stucco flat arch. This is flanked by narrow side windows with flush wooden architraves and 20th-century glazing. To the left, there are two 19th-century canted bay windows with plate-glass sashes and pilasters supporting an entablature with bracketed eaves, while a single similar bay window is located to the right. On the first floor, the central bay has a pair of narrow sashes, and the side bays have four-pane sashes, all in flush wooden architraves with sills and channelled stucco flat arches. The building is topped with a double-span roof and has rendered end stacks, along with an attic hatch on the right gable end.

Inside, the ground floor front right room retains an original dentilled plaster cornice, a plasterwork ceiling rose adorned with acanthus leaves and a foliate border, and a pair of half-domed alcoves flanking the chimney, which features raised imposts and keys to the archivolts.
