Description

Holmdene, incorporating the Boat Shop, is a house at the end of a row with a ground floor shop, dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with a slate roof and features a brick end stack on the left. The left corner has alternating flush quoins. The building has a single front range with a long rear wing that was formerly used as wool carding workshops and has a corrugated asbestos roof. It stands three storeys high and has three windows: two on the left and one on the right. The second floor has 6-pane sash windows with timber lintels, while the first floor features 12-pane sash windows with large flush stone wedge lintels. The ground floor includes a small 19th-century plate glass shop front on the left, supported by moulded consoles and a cornice. The central door has four flush panels and a 12-pane sash above, both with similar wedge lintels. To the right, there is a lower former doorway with a chamfered timber lintel and a small 20th-century twelve-pane sash. The building now incorporates part of Northville, which adjoins it to the rear on the right.
