Holly House

Holly House is a house dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with later alterations and additions from the 19th century. The exterior features stucco that mimics ashlar stone, with limestone dressings and coursed sandstone rubble at the rear. It has a slate mansard roof and consists of two storeys with three windows. The ground floor includes a canted bay with sash windows and a cornice on each side, along with a central six-panelled door topped with a fanlight and radial glazing bars. The Regency style porch has fluted columns, a frieze decorated with rosettes and swags, and a dentil cornice, with fluted pilasters at the rear. The first floor has three 16-pane sash windows and two later 19th-century gabled dormers. The building features raised long and short quoins, a cornice, a parapet with coping, and a curtain wall that ramps down to the left, which includes a two-light casement window. The right side has a two-light casement at both the ground and first floors, while the left side has a single-storey addition behind the curtain wall with two six-pane sashes. The irregular rear facade has a limestone ashlar canted bay on the left with French windows, and an 18-pane sash window on the right and left, along with a cornice and blocking course. Above, there is a sash window with horns. To the right at the upper level, there is a round-headed stair light with splayed glazing bars. The two-storey porch features a basket arch with limestone imposts, a keystone, and a relieving arch. The inner door has margin glazing, with two small plate-glass sashes above. The limestone top has a heavy cornice, a pediment with scrolls on the sides, a shield in the tympanum, and a ball-finial. There is a blind window to the left and a sash window at both the ground and first floors on the right, along with a cornice, a stepped parapet with coping, and a moulded string course on the sides. The interior includes a wide entrance hall with panelled and fielded doors, a cornice, and a curved open string staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail. The rest of the interior has not been inspected.
