Description
Holly Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the late 19th and late 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame with plastered infill, and it has been underbuilt and partly rebuilt in painted and rendered brick. The roof is covered with machine tiles. The framing includes close studding on the first floor and consists of two framed bays. The cottage has one storey and a gable-lit attic.
On the south-east front, there is a brick stack located just off-centre to the left, which has been rebuilt above the roof in the 20th century, along with an external brick end stack to the left, whose top section was also rebuilt in the late 20th century. The ground floor has a late 20th-century three-light wooden casement window to the right and a late 20th-century four-panelled door positioned just off-centre to the left. The left-hand gable end displays an exposed collar and tie-beam truss. There are one-storey lean-tos on both the right and left sides. The rear of the cottage features late 20th-century gabled eaves dormers and a 20th-century lean-to porch. Inside, there are pairs of chamfered ceiling beams.
