Description
Holme House is a house that originated as a pair of cottages built in the early to mid 18th century. It has an attached outbuilding range to the west, likely from the early 19th century, which incorporates materials from the late 17th or early 18th century. To the east, there is an early 19th-century range that was altered in the early 20th century, creating a U-shaped layout. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and has a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high.
The central pair of cottages features paired doorways with dressed jambs, tiestones, and deep lintels, although one doorway is blocked. There are 3-light mullioned windows on each side of the doorways on both floors, with flat-faced mullions that are slightly recessed and have inner chamfers. The gable ends have stacks.
On the left side, there is a wing that projects forward, made of watershot stone, which includes a plinth, quoins, a quoined doorway, and a chamfered first-floor doorway that has been altered to a window. This wing extends to the rear. The right wing also breaks forward and features a plinth, raised quoins, a central 20th-century half-glazed door with a 3-pane overlight and an incised keystone lintel, along with a window above the door that has a similar keystone. There are 20th-century two-storey bay windows added on either side, as well as shaped kneelers, coping, and end stacks.
Inside, the cottage has a segmental-arched fireplace with a cyma-moulded surround and joggled voussoirs. The 20th-century additions are not of special interest. An 1817 map shows that the building had already achieved its U-shaped plan by that time.
