Description
Holmlea is a 16th-century house located on the west side of High Street in Ixworth. It has two storeys and a three-cell plan. The building is timber-framed and features plastered panels, with a coved jetty along the front and a later lean-to at the rear. The gable at the south end is made of red brick. The roof is covered with plaintiles and has 20th-century ornamental ridge-tiles. There are two internal chimney stacks with plain shafts. The house has three windows: one is an early 19th-century small-paned bow window, while the others are early 19th-century three-light casements. The entrance features a six-panel fielded door with an eared architrave and a convex frieze.
