Description
Hollick Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 16th century and was remodeled in the early 17th century. It is constructed of rendered stone and cob, topped with a thatch roof featuring gable ends. The building has a stone rubble stack at the left end of the main range, a front lateral hall stack with a tapered cap and brick shaft, and a front lateral brick stack at the lower end.
Originally, it was probably a two-room and through-passage open hall house, with an additional through-passage at the lower end leading to the dairy, although access to a now-demolished shippon on the right has been blocked. The principal through-passage has been partitioned to create a lobby entry. Beyond the hall, there is a low two-storey addition, which is said to have been occupied as a separate cottage but now connects internally to the hall.
The farmhouse has two storeys and features a three-window range with 19th and 20th-century fenestration. On the left end, there is a three-light casement with eight panes per light, and to the right, there are two two-light casements with six panes per light and one with two panes per light. The ground floor includes two three-light casements with six panes per light on the left, and a hall window with three panes per light, both situated to the left of a slated pentice roof above a former through-passage doorway. This doorway has an ovolo-moulded surround, four-leafed stops to the durns, and an original ledged door made of three planks with cover strips forming nine panels.
While an interior inspection was not possible, it is known to have a smoke-blackened roof structure supported by raised cruck trusses and ornamental plasterwork frieze in one of the chambers. There is also a plaster rose above the hall fireplace, dated 1680.
