The Hollies

The Hollies is a house, largely dating from the 18th century, although it incorporates earlier elements and has undergone some Edwardian alterations. The exterior is painted brick with a Welsh slate roof, but remnants of a timber-framed structure are believed to survive within the wall thickness. The house is gabled, with a wide, three-bay main facade facing the street. A doorway is located on the left, set within a wide moulded wooden doorcase featuring medallions and beading in the architrave, above which is a shallow arched radial fan light. The door is an Edwardian replacement. Two squared bay windows to the right are contained under a single lean-to roof and are also Edwardian. The three upper windows are renewed casements, set in original openings with stuccoed, flat-arched heads and keystones. A single window is located in the gable apex.

A lower wing, two stories high and three bays wide, is positioned to the left of the main block. This wing features a centrally located round-headed doorway and flanking 12-light sash windows with flat-arched brick surrounds. The rear elevation of the main block has three windows on each floor, each with stuccoed heads and keystones. On the ground floor, two windows retain their original 16-light sashes with crown glass, while one upper window is a 12-light sash. A single window is set in the gable apex. A door is found in a lean-to addition. A side wall displays a brick sill band and one evident blocked ground floor window, with signs of other disturbance above. The building has gable end stacks.

The cellar contains a fine fireplace, likely dating from the 15th or early 16th century, featuring Tudor brickwork behind a four-centred archway with stone voussoirs.
