Description

North Hollingworth Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century, constructed of rubble brought to course, with an early 19th-century addition at the eastern end made of watershot masonry and a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and a south front featuring three bays. Attached to the first bay is a single-storey 20th-century lean-to. The corners of the house are marked by quoins.

The first bay has a double chamfered mullioned window with four lights, above which is a similar window that also has four lights, though both are missing two mullions. The second bay features a double chamfered mullioned window of four lights, separated from a two-light fire window by a king mullion, which also lacks two mullions. Above, there are chamfered mullioned windows, one with five lights (missing two mullions) and an altered three-light window reduced to two lights. The third bay contains a large two-light flat-faced mullioned window, with a smaller version above it, and quoins at the angle. The gable is coped with kneelers, and there are three stacks along the ridge.

On the right-hand return wall, which was formerly back to earth, there is a doorway with monolithic jambs at the first-floor level. The 19th-century extension is narrower than the original house and steps back to the second bay, with a two-light double chamfered mullioned window on the first floor. The rear of the main range has chamfered mullioned windows of two, four, and six lights on the ground floor, some of which have had mullions removed. The first floor retains one double chamfered mullioned window with four lights, missing two mullions, and the return wall features an extruded stack.

Inside, the house retains a bressumer and spine beams that form the fire area, which is lit by a two-light window. There is a later inserted 18th-century stack that has been altered, and one deeply curved timber in the fire area may be part of a reused crack blade. The original gable entry plan with a plain chamfered doorway is obscured by the eastern addition.
