Description
Hollins Hall is a house built in 1808, as indicated by the inscription 'IB 1808' on the brick to the right of the door. The house features a red brick construction with grey headers and a tiled roof. It is designed in a formal Georgian style and consists of three storeys and a cellar, appearing to have three windows on each floor on the symmetrical northern entrance front. However, the first and second floors have painted fake windows flanking the stair windows above the central door. The house is only one room deep, with rooms on either side of the stair hall on each floor lit from the south.
A lower L-shaped service wing is attached to the eastern end and projects forward to the north. There are chimneys at each end of the main house. The northern front has dentilled eaves and recessed sash windows on the ground floor with 8/8 panes and flat gauged arches. The first and second floors feature wider three-light casement windows under similar flat arches. The entrance includes a six-panel door with a segmental fanlight set under a gauged arch.
The southern elevation, which faces the garden, has three storeys and three windows, with dentilled eaves and flat gauged arches above a central door. The ground floor has recessed sash windows with 6/6 panes on the left and 8/8 panes on the right, while the upper floors have casement windows, including two-light casements on the second floor. The entrance features a glazed door with small panes and a painted fake segmental fanlight under a gauged arch.
Inside, the house has an unusually conservative plan with a cellar beneath the parlour on the west side. The stair rises from the south to the north, with the entrance located beneath it. The original stair has stick balusters and carved tread ends, with the ground floor newel one step up and the top newel two steps down from the landing.
