Holly House

Holly House is an early 19th-century building located on Church Street North in Whittington. It is constructed of coursed stone with quoins and features a hipped slate roof. The main facade, which faces south, is two storeys high and has three windows with a band at the first floor. The windows are sashes with engraved lintels and reeded keystones. On the west side, there is a large square bay with all windows having glazing bars, except for the bottom lights of the bay sashes. The central door is framed by a Doric doorcase with mutules, engaged pillars, and an open pediment, topped with a cobweb fanlight. The top door panels have later glazing.

The western or entrance facade has two windows on the south side at the first floor, with one blank. There is an off-centre segmental arched window between the floors featuring Gothic glazing bars. The north side includes a canted bay, with all sashes having glazing bars. A small polygonal, one-storey addition is present on the north side.

Inside, there have been some alterations, but the building retains an arch across the hall and elliptical arches between the hall and side rooms, although the eastern arch has been altered. The hall and the western ground floor room boast good moulded plaster ceilings, with the latter also featuring musical instruments in low relief moulding above the doors. There are lion's head masks and medallions above the reeded architraves of the ground floor doorcases. The interior includes six-panelled doors and a good staircase with two turned balusters on each step, supported by a carved bracket below. The layout also features a symmetrical treatment of the fireplace, corner cupboards, and sashes inside the polygonal addition.
