Description

Cherry Holt is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century. It has a timber frame that is rendered, with close studding and brick nogging visible on the extensions to the right of the road frontage. The roof is steeply pitched and originally thatched, now covered with pantiles. There is a central axial brick stack featuring oversailing courses. The original entrance may have been located on what is now the rear elevation. The house has one bay to the left of the stack and two bays to the right, with a mix of scattered two, three, and four-light diamond-paned wooden casements. A single dormer is positioned to the right of the stack. The gables feature exposed purlins and bargeboards. To the right of the road front, there is a lean-to outshut with an entrance on the right return wall, which has a plank and muntin door. Additionally, there is a larger lean-to extension that extends from the right gable wall, built with a timber frame on a brick plinth. At the rear, behind the stack, there is a two-storey extension. Inside, there are back-to-back inglenook fireplaces with a staircase aligned on the same axis, and original timber framing is visible throughout.
