Lockner Holt

Lockner Holt is a house, now divided, built in 1860 by Henry Woodyer for the Duke of Northumberland in a castellated style. It was extended to the left and rear in 1890. The building is constructed of coursed Bargate stone with sandstone and brick dressings, and it has plain tiled roofs. It has an L-shaped plan with a projecting wing to the left and a courtyard in the re-entrant angle.

The house is two storeys high with attics in stepped gables on the left-hand wing. It features a plinth and a string course at the base of the battlemented parapets and over the ground floor. There is a ridge stack at the centre, a front stack to the left of centre, ridge stacks on the left-hand wing, and a front end stack on the stepped gable to the right. The stone-dressed, trefoil-headed arched windows are mainly three-light, with two windows on each floor to the right of centre. The first-floor window over the entrance is in an angled bay that is placed diagonally across the re-entrant angle. There is a five-light window to the right of the door and a circular tower to the left of the entrance, topped with a conical roof and corbelled eaves. Below the tower are lancet windows, and further stone-dressed windows are located to the left on the projecting wing.

The stone frontispiece to the angle bay across the re-entrant angle is under a string course and features crests on either side of a pointed arched door with a flat hoodmould.

Inside, the drawing room has plaster ceilings that are panelled with foliage decoration. The billiard room features wooden Gothic style panelling and a cusped, panelled ceiling. The former library has a Siennese marble fireplace with arcaded panelling. The main stairway includes carved newel posts in Gothic style. The entrance hall is panelled and contains a massive marble fireplace under a complex crocketed and finialled Gothic overmantle. The original door lock and mechanism are preserved on the main door.
