Description

Holly Tree Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has undergone alterations and additions in the 19th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick nogging, later painted brick facing on the left and right sides, and a squared and coursed sandstone wing at the rear. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has a partial catslide roof at the back. The building is L-shaped with two framed bays and stands one and a half storeys tall.

The framing consists of square panels. There are two gabled dormers, each with two-light casements, and an off-centre ridge stack to the left. On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century three-light casements flanking an early 19th-century door that has four trefoil-arched panels. The early 19th-century sandstone wing at the rear features three blank straight-sided arches, which are similar to other buildings in the area associated with George Durant the younger, who died in 1844, of Tong Castle.
