Cellar And Wood Sheds Approximately 1.5 Metres North West Of Holcombe Court

The cellar and wood sheds, located approximately 1.5 metres north-west of Holcombe Court, were built around 1859 to 1863 as part of the Reverend William Rayer's renovation of the main house. Constructed from snecked grey local limestone with some ashlar, they feature a slate roof that includes some original crested roof tiles. The building has an L-shaped plan and is terraced into the hillslope on two sides, containing three rooms: one at the angle of the two wings and one on each side. None of the rooms have fireplaces. The entrance front faces south-east towards the back of Holcombe Court, with the cold store or cellar located in the right room. The other two rooms serve as wood sheds, and their south-west front is more architecturally significant as it overlooks the grounds and serpentine lake on that side of the house. An arch facing south-west connects these service rooms to the main house. Holcombe Court is also terraced into a hillslope, making the narrow service courtyard at the rear (north-west) sunken into the rising ground, which is occupied by the kitchen garden. The cellar and wood sheds occupy the south-west end of this courtyard, backing onto the terrace. The rooms are single storey with lofts above.

On the exterior, the south-west side features a 2:1 window arrangement with two-centred arch windows containing casements that currently lack glazing bars. The one-window section to the right is slightly advanced from the rest and represents the gable end of the south-east facing block. There is a lancet window in the gable, and the gable has coping. The front wall and weathered coping continue to the right, with the coping rising as a gable over a tall segmental-pointed arch that has a double chamfered arch ring. The house front facing south-east is similar in design. The interior has plain carpentry details. This cellar and wood sheds form a group with Holcombe Court, its ancillary buildings (most of which are listed), the Church of All Saints, and the houses at the top end of Holcombe Rogus.
