Description
Holly Cottage is a late 18th-century squatter's cottage that has been altered and extended in the 19th century. The front is made of painted brick in Flemish bond, while the rear elevation is constructed of cob. It features a hipped thatched roof with one external brick stack on the right side and a hexagonal pot and brick chimney stack on the left. The left bay is an addition from the 19th or 20th century. The cottage is single-storey with four windows, which are modern casements, and a four-plank door with iron studs and a heraldic leaded glazed viewing hole. There is a modern gabled wooden porch supported by four square wooden posts. The rear cob elevation includes one triangular brick buttress and a 19th-century brick lean-to with a slate roof. Inside, the cottage retains ledged plank doors and exposed roof timbers of thin scantling with a collar beam. It is included in the listing for its social historical interest as a squatter's cottage.
