Description

Holywell Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse constructed of chequered red and blue brick, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys tall, with a basement and attic set on a plinth, and features a plat band. It has two hipped dormers and stacks that project from both the left and right ends. The windows are arranged regularly, with three segmental sash windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, along with a central glazed door that is topped by a gabled hood.
