Holton Park

Holton Park is a mansion that has been converted into a school, built in 1815. It features a limestone ashlar exterior and Welsh-slate roofs, with a double-depth plan and subsidiary wings in the Gothick style. The building is two storeys high and has a battlemented main block with octagonal corner turrets. The symmetrical front has five windows, with a central bay that slightly projects forward. The entrance includes a crenellated porch adorned with relief quatrefoils and 4-centred archways on three sides. The ground and first floors have 12-pane sash windows with stone labels. To the right, the return front has a five-window arrangement flanked by turretted buttresses around the central bay. The rear features a symmetrical six-window elevation, divided into sections by triangular buttresses, and includes a large two-storey canted bay window on the right. The service wings to the left of the main front have plain sash windows and shallow-pitched hipped roofs. Inside, the central stair hall boasts a cantilevered stone stair with a wrought-iron balustrade and a wreathed mahogany handrail. The hall also features a modillion cornice with guttae, an oval domelight with decorative keying around the base, and a central stained glass roundel.
