Description
Holnest Park House is an early to mid-19th century country house, now operating as a hotel. It has rendered walls and a hipped slate roof hidden behind a balustraded parapet. The original facade was symmetrical, composed of a four-bay, three-bay, four-bay arrangement. The central pavilion projects forward and is topped with a pediment. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars and have flat hoods. A Venetian window sits beneath the pediment. Italianate towers are located at the left-hand corners of the house. Statues adorn the pediments. The central bays bow outwards to the rear. A five-bay extension from the 20th century has been added to the left side.
