Description
Holland House is the remains of a large mansion from the early 17th century, notable for its architectural and historical significance. The building was damaged during the Second World War and has been partly demolished. The south front still stands to a single storey height and features arcades. The structure is made of red brick and stone, much of which has been renewed. The east wing remains intact to its full height, showcasing an enclosed arcade on the ground floor, pilastered upper storeys, and shaped gables on the tiled roof, with a tower behind that has a slated roof.
