Holly Bush House And Adjoining Barn To South West And Boundary Wall

Holly Bush House and the adjoining barn to the southwest, along with the boundary wall, are located on Wyther Lane in Sandford. The house and barn, now used as offices, date back to the 17th century, with the house being rebuilt and the barn altered around 1800. Further alterations occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries. The buildings are constructed of coursed squared gritstone, with the house featuring very thin stone courses, a slate roof, and stone slates on the barn.

The house is two storeys high with a basement and has four windows, each with plain stone architraves and sills, and 4-pane sash windows. The central doorway has an overlight, and there are stone gutter brackets and end stacks. At the rear, the basement has two doorways with plain surrounds; the left doorway is blocked and the stone steps have been removed, while the right doorway still has its steps. The far left basement entrance features a re-set recessed chamfered window lintel with three holes for glazing bars, a wooden inner lintel with a mortice and two pegs, and a re-used stone in the right jamb. The upper floors have sash windows similar to those at the front, and there is an eaves stack above a blocked doorway. The lower courses of the walling at the rear and right return likely belong to the earlier house.

The barn has a central cart entrance with a raised segmental arch and quoined jambs, a byre doorway to the right, and inserted windows. The rear features an archway with byre doors to the right and a square hay door above. Inside, the barn roof consists of six queen-post trusses with splayed braces, wooden pegs, and three tiers of purlins, with a brick floor in the entrance and stone slabs in the former byres.

The boundary wall in front of the barn is made of coursed stone with rounded coping. The wall of the house is approximately 13 meters long and includes a square pier with a moulded cornice and pyramid cap at the southern end, as well as gate piers. The iron railings are of square section with tapered ball finials, although the gate is missing.
