Description
Hollow Trees is a house dating back to the 16th century, with an extension added to the left side in 1727, as indicated by a brick tablet in the gable. A 20th-century extension is set back on the right.
The central section is timber-framed with brown brick infill. The left-hand extension is constructed of blue brick with red brick dressings, while the right-hand end features half-timbering with diagonal brick infilling. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The house is two storeys high, with a gabled extension projecting to the left and the extension set back to the right. A tall stack with a complicated design is located to the left, and a top ridge stack corbels to the front right.
The left-hand extension has plat bands over the ground and first floors, as well as brick-on-edge coping to the gable. A blind panel is set under a gauged brick head to the gable. Diamond-pane leaded casement windows with gauged brick heads are found on each floor, one to the right and under the eaves gable. The right-hand end has two ground floor casements and two first-floor windows, each with cross framing. A ribbed door is situated to the left of the centre, accessed by an open, hipped roof porch built on brick dado walls. A single-storey wing extends to the rear right.
