Description

Holder's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with later enlargements in the 19th century. It features Flemish-bond brickwork set on a stone plinth and has a tiled roof. The building is laid out in an L shape, with three windows across the front and originally one room deep, standing two storeys high with attics.

The central entrance has a four-panel front door topped by a 2-pane fanlight, all sheltered by a mid to late 19th-century openwork timber porch with a gabled slate roof. On either side of the door are three-light casement windows, each with an iron opening light and glass extending into a cambered head, supported by a brick-on-end arch with alternate bricks and a dummy centre joint. The first floor has three similar windows beneath a dentil eaves cornice. Gable chimneys partially project from the main structure.

To the left gable, there is a single-storey lean-to, and at the rear, there is a lean-to extension that is half a room deep, which partly infills the back of the farmhouse. The rear eaves of the main part have been raised slightly, and there is a rear wing forming an 'L' shape that is of a different date from the front of the building.
