Holdridge Farmhouse West Holdridge And Farmbuildings Adjoining To East And West

Holdridge Farmhouse and the adjoining farm buildings date from the early to mid 19th century, with some alterations made in the late 20th century. The buildings are constructed from uncoursed stone rubble with tooled ashlar dressings and feature a gable-ended Welsh-slate roof, along with a two-span hipped roof at right angles to the rear wing of the house and hipped roofs on the ends of the farm buildings. Red-brick stacks are present.

The farmhouse has a double-depth plan and faces south, with integral brick end stacks and a brick stack on the ridge of the left-hand rear. There are flanking ranges, with a former service wing to the right and a farm building to the left. The left-hand wing has been partly converted for domestic use in the late 20th century. This entire range forms the south side of the farmyard, while the main U-plan range, which includes a threshing barn, cartsheds, and shippons, is located to the north. The farmhouse is two stories tall, as are the lower farm buildings.

The exterior features a plinth and a symmetrical three-bay front. The bays contain 16-pane glazing bar sashes, each with four panes across and two up, topped with slightly-segmental ashlar heads. The central entrance has a half-glazed six-panel door, with the lower three panels being moulded, and is flanked by a three-part rectangular overlight. A hipped stone porch with a round-arched entrance leads to a pair of 20th-century half-glazed doors and small side windows with round-arched lintels. The adjoining farm buildings have segmental-headed two-light wooden casements, although the openings on the left-hand end have been altered in the late 20th century.

At the rear of the house, there are boxed 16-pane segmental-headed glazing bar sashes, with two on the first floor and three on the ground floor, as well as a central eight-pane sash on the first floor. The interior has only been partly inspected but features a central staircase that appears to be from the mid-19th century, panelled window shutters, and a kitchen at the rear with a bench along the rear wall.
