Description
Holworth Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with brick extensions added in the early 19th century. The building features coursed rubble walls, some of which are rendered. There is a rendered plat band above the ground floor windows and a rendered string course above the first floor windows. The roofs are covered with clay tiles, and the eaves are finished with stone slates and stone gable copings that have rolls. The gable ends have renewed brick stacks.
The farmhouse is two storeys high on the south elevation and has three 17th-century windows and two 19th-century windows. The 17th-century windows are made of four-light hollow chamfered stone mullions, with a two-light type above the front door. The 19th-century addition features three and four-light mullions, all of which have 20th-century metal casements without glazing bars. The front door is centrally located and has a recessed panel with two top lights, dating from the 19th century. There is a porch made of rubblestone with a gabled tiled roof and a segmental arch entrance. The front door to the 19th-century addition has four fielded panels and two top lights, also from the 19th century.
The rear of the house is constructed of coursed limestone and is three storeys tall due to the slope of the ground. The fenestration consists of two-light hollow chamfered stone mullions with separate labels above, and these too have 20th-century metal casements. There are 19th and 20th-century extensions at the rear of the house.
Inside, the partitions enclosing the staircase are notable examples of muntin and plank construction. The staircase features square newels with moulded angles and a moulded handrail without balusters. The west room, which was formerly the kitchen, has a wide open fireplace with a timber lintel. The east parlour and the chamber above have stone fireplaces with four-centred heads. The roof trusses include lateral posts framed to the wall plates.
