Description
Holwell Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1700, which may have been a remodelling of an earlier 17th-century house. The rear wing was remodelled in the early to mid-19th century. The building is rendered and features a Cotswold stone slate roof, along with ashlar stacks that have a moulded cornice. It has two storeys and attics, with two gabled dormers. There are five windows, including modern glazing bar sashes and early 19th-century 16-pane glazing bar sashes on the ground floor, as well as three cross windows on the first floor. The central entrance has a six-panel door beneath an elaborate shell hood, which includes a plaster cornucopia and is supported by finely carved decorative consoles. Inside, there is a bolection moulded fire surround in the right-hand ground floor room and a fine oak open well staircase featuring closed string twisted balusters and pineapple pendants.
