Description
Holmwood is a two-storey house built with brick faced in stucco and features modern render on the flank walls, topped with slate roofs. The main layout consists of two rooms on either side of a central hall and rear stair. Large openings have been created in the spine wall between the front and rear rooms, and the eastern rear room seems to have been divided to create a small additional room at the back. The rear west bedroom has also been subdivided, with an extra door added from the landing.
The exterior showcases a shallow hipped roof with boxed eaves and truncated chimney stacks. The front elevation is symmetrical with three bays and has panelled angle pilasters. All windows feature decorative lugged details on the sills. The central entrance is round-arched with a radial fanlight, while the door and steps are modern. The flanking windows are round-headed with moulded surrounds and wooden sashes that include radial glazing bars and margin lights. The upper-floor windows have 6-over-6 pane sashes, also with margin lights. On the rear elevation, the sash windows include a ground-floor window in the east room that has been replaced with a modern casement.
Inside, the hall features a moulded cornice and arch. The open-string well stair is notable for its column newels, mahogany handrail, stick balusters, and scrolled silhouette tread ends, finishing in a curtail. The west front room has a reeded cornice, while the east room boasts a moulded cornice and a deep plaster decorative frieze that appears to date from the late 19th to early 20th century. A door with paterae ornament leads from this room to the rear extension. Surviving joinery includes window architraves and aprons, panelled shutters on the ground-floor front windows, some door architraves, and a few sections of skirting. However, no fireplaces or original panelled doors remain.
