Holly Cottage

Holly Cottage is a house dating to around 1840, built for Robert Needham Philips. It is constructed of brick with ashlar stone dressings, and has a slate roof with brick return lateral stack and stacks to the rear. The house has a single-unit plan with a cross-wing to the right.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a three-window front. Features include a stone-coped ashlar plinth, wide eaves, and enriched bargeboards. The entrance, located to the left of the cross-wing, has an ashlar porch with a coped parapet, a gablet, and a Tudor arch over the battened door. Single-chamfered mullioned windows project slightly. The ground floor has a cross-mullioned window with a label mould to the left, and the cross-wing has a canted bay window with an ashlar hipped roof over transomed lights. The first floor has a single light over the entrance, and a two-light window to the left and to the cross-wing; the latter has a label mould. All windows have decorative glazing with elongated octagons. Gabled roofs are present.

The left return features a bay window to the gable. The right return has a lateral stack with eight fluted shafts, and a rear stack with octagonal shafts, all with caps. The interior was not inspected. Holly Cottage is an example of a house built for the Philips estate.
