Description

Holywell Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the mid-16th century, with a 17th-century addition and 18th-century alterations. The building features brick on the ground floor and close-studded timber-framing with brick infill on the first floor, except for stone rubble infill to the left of center. It has an old plain-tile roof and a stone-based internal stack to the left of center with two diagonally set rebuilt brick flues, as well as a brick ridge stack to the right of center. The farmhouse is two stories tall and has a three-window range. There are French doors to the right and 3-light casements to the left and center, along with three gabled false dormers that also contain 3-light casements. The left return is faced in what is probably early 19th-century red brick. At the rear right, there is a cross-wing with brick on the ground floor and small timber-framing with brick infill on the first floor's left and right returns. The first floor and attic gable end of the cross-wing feature close-studded timber-framing with rendered infill. A single-light wood window with a diagonally-set wood bar is located on the first floor to the right of the end of the cross-wing. Inside, there are open fireplaces on the ground floor, chamfered spine beams, and a queen post roof with windbraces.
