Holly Court Farmhouse And Attached Outbuildings

Holly Court Farmhouse and attached outbuildings is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with some fragments from the 13th century. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, featuring old rendering on the front, and has a gabled stone slate roof with stone ridge and end stacks finished in 19th-century brick. It has a three-unit plan with a cross passage and stands two storeys high with a three-window range. The front entrance includes a 19th-century four-panelled door beneath a gabled timber porch. There are chamfered timber lintels above 19th-century three- and four-light casements, as well as two 17th-century ovolo-moulded wood-mullioned windows to the right of the door.

At the rear, the building features two large gabled dormers and a similar 17th-century outshut. A two-storey rear right wing, made from similar materials, includes a 18th-century leaded casement window and a 17th-century two-light square-cut wood-mullioned window on the left side, along with a 17th-century two-light chamfered wood-mullioned window and a three-light ovolo-moulded wood-mullioned window on the right side. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest, as it is noted to have stop-chamfered beams and timber-framed partitions in the cross passage.

Additional features include stone steps leading to an 18th-century outbuilding made from similar materials. At the rear left, there are stone steps leading to a 19th-century plank door, with a 19th-century casement to the left and 13th-century reset pointed chamfered lancets at the front and rear. The right gable has 18th-century brick-lined doveholes, and the building has a three-bay late 18th-century collar-truss roof with butt purlins.
