Description
Holt Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with alterations made around 1805, as indicated by a datestone. It is constructed from local thin coursed rubble and features a concrete tiled roof, with a brick stack on the right and a stone stack at the junction with added cow sheds on the left. The building is aligned north-east to south-west and has a through-passage plan with newel stairs located against each end stack. There are further two-bay cow sheds at the south-west end. The farmhouse is two storeys high and was probably originally one storey with an attic. It has three windows: one and two windows, which are 20th-century three-light casements. The central entrance is a ledged door, and the cow shed wing has two entrances, with the lintel of the right-hand one being oak-framed. A datestone is positioned between the first-floor windows. The north elevation features three hooded windows, two of which have diamond-section mullions, and the two right-hand windows illuminate the staircase. Additionally, there is a lean-to extension on the west side at the south-west end.
