1, Holywell Hill

No. 1 Holywell Hill is an early 18th-century house with a probable 17th-century core. The front of the building dates from the early 18th century, while the rear section is older. The rear of the house features a double, high-pitched tiled roof with ridges running at right angles to the road and half-hipped gable ends. Three tall chimney shafts are set diagonally on a central stack. Old timberwork is visible in the carriageway, including a 17th-century carved, grotesque figure used as a bracket. A long, further 17th-century rear extension is weatherboarded on the first floor.

The front of the house is built of red brick, with some bluish headers, and has three storeys and six windows. Brick pilasters with moulded capitals support a moulded brick cornice at the second-floor level. A brick parapet hides the roof. Gauged, flat brick arches frame sash windows with glazing bars in near-flush moulded frames on the first and second floors. The ground floor has a modern shop window on the left, a modern door with a side window in the centre, and an arched carriage entrance on the right.

The building is part of a group with Nos. 1 to 25 (odd) Holywell Hill.
