Hollands

Hollands is a farmhouse that was converted into four cottages in the early 19th century and is now a house. It dates from the mid to late 17th century, with an earlier 17th-century one-unit plan on the left and a late 18th to early 19th-century wing, which was formerly a cottage, projecting to the front left. The building features colourwashed render over cob and stone, a gabled thatch roof, and has an external stone stack finished in 19th-century brick on the left end, while the right end has a rendered stone stack and there is a truncated stone ridge stack. The original one-unit plan was extended to the right in the mid to late 17th century to create a three-unit plan with a stair-well projection at the rear. The house is two storeys high and has a three-window range. There is a 20th-century thatched porch with a plank door to the right of the centre and flat rendered arches above the 20th-century two-light casements. The projecting wing to the front left is one storey and attic, also featuring 20th-century casements. An adjoining 19th-century dairy outshut connects to the stair-well projection and has a 19th-century casement at the rear.

Inside, there are old joists in all rooms, and a chamfered ogee-stopped beam in the centre. There is an open fireplace with a reset chamfered bressummer from a demolished central fireplace on the left, and a chamfered roll-stopped bressummer over another open fireplace in the room to the right. The rear has 19th-century winder stairs. The roof contains two 17th-century A-frame trusses at the centre, each with a ridge purlin set diagonally in a notched apex, a cambered collar, and butt purlins with through-splayed scarf joints. There is also a similar truss of lighter scantling to the right.
