Holden Gate Farmhouse

Holden Gate Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, featuring an added porch that is initialled and dated "TF TB" 1619. The building is constructed of dressed stone with a stone slate roof and has two storeys. It follows a three-room direct-entry plan and includes a gabled single-storey porch.

The parlour has a three-light double-chamfered mullioned window, while a 19th-century doorway with monolithic jambs has been inserted. There is also a two-light fire-window and a five-light housebody window. The two main windows are adorned with hoodmoulds that have straight returns and cavetto-moulded mullions. The porch features a doorway with a cyma-moulded surround, and the lintel bears the date, with notched corners suggesting it may be reused. A small chamfered light is set in the gable of the porch, which is coped with kneelers. The inner door of the porch has composite jambs and a broad stop-chamfered surround.

On the service end, there is a two-light window. The first floor has two windows with chamfered surrounds, which were originally two-light windows lacking a mullion, and a centrally placed 19th-century window with plain stone surrounds. The gables are coped with kneelers, and the right gable retains a lantern finial. There are two stacks at the ridge and one capped stack at the right-hand corner. The rear of the house has small chamfered lights on the first floor and an added mid-20th-century flat-roofed extension that is out of sympathy with the original structure. The side walls feature a single two-light double-chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor.

Inside, the housebody retains a large deep bressumer, stop-chamfered spine beams, and floor joists. Other rooms have chamfered beams. There are two king-post trusses; one has a groove on the soffit of the tie-beam and six vertical struts with a curved brace to the ridge, while the other is open with single angle-struts set over the bressumer. To the north of the fireplace is a small room with a curved inner angle and a small chamfered light, which likely originally housed a spiral staircase that has since been removed. A fragment of the original oak panelling can also be found in this room.
