Hollington House Hotel Including Terrace And Balustrade To South East

Hollington House Hotel is a country house that was built in 1904 by architect Arthur Conran Blomfield for E. Festus Kelly. The building is made of dressed stone with freestone dressings and has rusticated red brick quoins. It features a clay plain tile roof with stone-coped gables topped with ball finials, as well as red brick axial stacks with diagonal shafts and moulded cornices.

The house has an L-shaped plan, with the main rooms located on the southeast garden front and a service wing at the northwest, which includes a great hall and a porch at the rear northeast angle. The architectural style is Jacobean.

The exterior consists of two storeys and an attic, with an almost symmetrical facade featuring five gables. The center and end bays are advanced and have rusticated brick quoins. The end bays are adorned with wide two-storey canted bay windows that have pierced balustrade parapets. The windows are stone mullion-transom style, and there is a moulded stone modillion cornice above the first-floor windows, along with a moulded string course. The central garden doorway is framed in stone and includes integral sidelights and an overlight, topped with a semi-circular pediment.

On the southwest side, there is a gable to the right and three gables to the left, two of which feature applied timber-framing. At the rear northwest, the great hall is located to the left, with a porch at the end that has a round arch doorway. The service wing on the right has timber-framed gables and a water tower at the northwest corner, which features rusticated brick quoins, a moulded cornice, and an oculus.

Inside, the great hall is panelled and includes a stone fireplace with giant pilasters supporting the overmantel, a gallery, and a coved plaster ceiling. The panelled passage has moulded arches, and the stairwell features an open-well staircase with moulded balusters and panelled newels. The principal rooms are also panelled and include chimneypieces and moulded plaster ribbed ceilings.
