Holly Villas

Holly Villas is a pair of houses dating from the early 19th century, located on the south side of Cranbrook Road, Goudhurst. They were reportedly built to house workers for the Davis and Leaney Builders establishment, which formerly occupied the land behind the villas.

The houses are timber-framed and weather boarded, with some tile hanging on the return elevations, and have a plain tiled roof. They are designed in a Gothic cottage oriel style. The main range has a gable end facing the road, with two smaller gables projecting forward. These projecting gables have more elaborate moulded bargeboards and pendants than the main gable stacks. The attic has two Y-traceried arched lights, and the subsidiary gables have two depressed arched niches. Each floor features Gothick traceried, depressed arched headed glazing bar sashes.

Projecting returns flank the main range, with pierced bargeboards and pendants. There are traceried panel doors with depressed arched heads facing the road, and simple Y tracery wooden casements to the return elevations.
