Holne Cott

Holne Cott is a house that was formerly a hunting lodge for Holne Park. It dates from around the late 18th century or early 19th century and was remodeled and extended around 1840, although it has since been reduced in size by the demolition of the east end. The building is constructed of stuccoed stone rubble and has an asbestos slate roof with gabled ends featuring pierced wavy bargeboards and pendants. The east and front gables have moulded bargeboards, likely later replacements, while the rear wing has a pierced wavy eaves fascia.

The design is asymmetrical in the Tudor Gothic style, with a gabled cross wing to the right at an obtuse angle to the main range. There is a mid-19th century wing at right angles to the rear of the cross wing. The left-hand (east) end has been reduced in height to a single storey and is roofless. The house has two storeys and a three-window range overall, with the right-hand bay being the gable end of the cross wing.

At the centre of the main two-window range to the left is a gabled porch with moulded bargeboards and a pendant, featuring flush panel doors and two-light side windows. The windows are three-light ovolo moulded mullion-transom casements with glazing bars, and the top lights have pointed arch glazing bars. The window to the right of the porch is a two-light version of the same design. The right-hand return of the cross wing has a square bay with similarly designed windows and an aerial on timber brackets.

The parallel rear wing has a first floor that overhangs and is supported on timber posts. Inside, there are some late 18th century and early 19th century joinery elements, including panelled doors, architraves, and fielded panel shutters. Between the main range and the cross wing is a moulded elliptical arch with a keyblock and pilasters. The early to mid-19th century staircase features turned balusters. The drawing room has a recently installed late 19th century Art Nouveau marble chimney-piece with a horseshoe-shaped arch decorated with carved horse chestnut foliage, and the spandrels are adorned in the Art Nouveau style with lily leaves swirling like drapery. Additionally, there is a print inside depicting a landscape, inscribed "Scene from the window of Holne Cottage. The property of Sir B Wrey, Bart", published by F C Lewis in 1820.
