Description

The Hollies Farmhouse is an early 19th-century house situated at right angles to the road. It is constructed of dressed stone and features a Welsh slate roof with gabled ends. The building has an L-shaped plan with a wing extending to the south and stands two storeys tall. There are three windows, and a band runs between the storeys. The windows are sashes with glazing bars. The central entrance consists of a glazed door topped by a rectangular fanlight, all framed in a plain architrave and sheltered by a small flat hood. The farmhouse has end chimney stacks.
