Holywell Farmhouse

Holywell Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 15th or 16th century, with the first floor rebuilt in brick in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The ground floor is made of rubble stone, featuring squared stone quoins and an entrance arch. The roof is covered with Swithland slate. The building has a three-room cross passage plan and is two storeys high. The right-hand bay is rendered. A massive stone ridge stack has been heightened into four separate brick stacks, positioned between the central and right-hand bays. There is a four-centred entrance arch between the left-hand and central bays, with a plank door set back behind it. A corresponding arch is found in the original rear external wall, which is now part of a 19th-century rear extension. The farmhouse also includes 19th and 20th-century three and four-light windows.
