Holway Farmhouse

Holway Farmhouse is an early 17th century L-plan manor farmhouse that was extended in the later 17th century to form a rectangular double-depth plan. The building features a coursed rubble-stone plinth and ashlar Ham stone walls, topped with hipped slate roofs. It has brick stacks, which have been rebuilt, located to the left and right of the center behind the front ridge and on the rear gable. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has four windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor, all of which are three-light hollow chamfered stone mullions with integral chamfered cills, fitted with 20th-century metal casements. A continuous string course runs above the ground floor windows.

At the center of the front elevation is a Ham stone porch with a Roman clay tile roof and stone gable-coping supported by moulded kneelers. The doorway features moulded jambs and a depressed-arch head, with a plank-and-muntin door that is studded. The north elevation has large two-light wooden casements, while the south elevation is rendered and has a four-light window on the ground floor and a three-light stone mullion window. Above the back doorway, there are two stone shields, one depicting a lion rampant and the other featuring the letter "I" alongside a bird.

Inside, there is a central hall passage that leads to a mainly 17th-century wooden staircase, which has heavy turned balusters and a moulded rail. The fireplaces in the southeast and southwest rooms on both floors are made of stone with moulded jambs and depressed arch heads. The southwest room upstairs features a plaster overmantel adorned with two sea monsters on either side of a central grotesque mask that is grinning and wearing a collarette. The southeast room has a compartmented ceiling with 17th-century plasterwork, showcasing vine-scroll ornamentation on the main beams and ribbed squares and semi-circles within the compartments, along with stalked palmettes.
