Description

Holton Farmhouse is a mid-19th century farmhouse with few later alterations. It is constructed of stone rubble that is rendered and lined out, topped with a slate roof featuring ridge tiles and gable ends. The building has gable end stacks with brick shafts and a rear lateral stack with a rubble shaft. The layout consists of a double depth plan with a central entrance, and the principal rooms on the front left and right are of equal size. There are shallow rear service rooms and a central one-room plan service wing at the back, which is heated from a stack at the junction with the main range. A lean-to is located on the left side of the wing. The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front, with all windows being 19th-century 16-pane sashes. The central entrance features a 20th-century half-glazed door, while the left side has a 4-pane sash at ground floor to the right and a 16-pane sash at first floor to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
