Description
Holyfield Hall Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed building dating from around 1560. It is constructed of red brick with an old tiled roof and features two storeys, attics, and a basement. The farmhouse has two weatherboarded gables that overhang. The early 17th-century chimneystack has diagonally set shafts. On the ground floor, there are three sash windows, while the first floor has four double-light casement windows with wood mullions and transoms. The entrance includes a door with an oblong fanlight in a decorative surround.
Inside, the farmhouse showcases an exposed timber frame and a central chimney bressummer, along with a hiding place on the left side.
Historically, the property was granted by Henry VIII to Sir Antony Denny, along with the surrounding land. It was later regranted by Queen Elizabeth to Richard Hill and William Hames. The Gollard family owned the farmhouse from 1664 to 1747.
