Description

Hollybush Cottage is a detached cottage that dates from the 17th to early 18th century, with later additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built of coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring a stone slate roof and concrete tile roof, along with stone and brick stacks. The cottage has an 'L'-shaped plan with 19th-century outbuildings extending forward on the right side.

The main part of the cottage is one and a half storeys high, with one room upstairs and one downstairs on the left. It has a Cotswold dormer that is lit by a double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement with a dripmould. On the ground floor, there is a twelve-pane sash window, and an early sash window with wide glazing bars is located in the rear wall at the right gable end. The one and a half storey block on the right features two 20th-century two-light full dormers with wooden casements and horizontal glazing bars, and the dormers have hung tile decoration.

There are two 19th-century plank doors set within a 20th-century porch, one of which leads to the 19th-century outbuildings, accessed via a flat-roofed open-sided walkway in front of the single-storey outbuildings. The right gable end includes two flat-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with horizontal glazing bars. The gable ends of both parts of the cottage have flat coping. The interior has not been inspected.
