Description
The Hollies is a house located on The Street in Redgrave, dating from the late 16th century, with extensions from the 17th century and early 19th century. The structure features a timber frame with clay lump used in the later additions, all plastered. It has a thatched roof with black glazed pantiles on the later addition. The house likely started as two early bays, with two additional one-bay extensions to the right. It has one storey and an attic, while the later bay has two storeys.
The three earlier bays appear as a single build, with a central entrance in a pantiled gabled porch. The entrance features an inner door that is half glazed and half panelled with an architrave. To the left of the entrance is a two-light glazing bar casement window, and to the right is a 12-pane fixed window. The house also has three two-light gabled dormers. There are two cross axial ridge stacks, which have been rebuilt in white brick with oversailing red brick caps; the left stack is situated between two apparently early bays, while the right stack is external to the early build in the 17th-century bay.
The left end of the house has a small ground floor extension featuring an architraved glazing bar sash window and a two-light casement window on the first floor, along with bargeboards. To the right, there is a 19th-century addition that projects forward, with an inner return featuring an early 16-pane fixed window, a cross casement, and a sham gable with a flat roof, as well as an entrance at the front. The right return has a slightly further projecting gable end with architraved French windows. At the rear, there are continuous clay lump and pantiled lean-to outshut additions, along with a two-light tiled gabled dormer. Inside, the frame is largely concealed, but some close studding is visible.
