Description
Holborn is a farmhouse dated and inscribed over an internal door with "I & AS 1693" (Scott), featuring 19th century alterations. The building has whitewashed rubble walls beneath a graduated greenslate roof, with 19th century yellow brick chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has two bays. The windows are sash type set in 19th century painted stone surrounds. There is a plank door leading to a small projecting outhouse on the left, and a side 20th century porch attached to the outshut at the rear. Inside, there is a chamfered-surround doorway from the kitchen to the living room, which was originally an external door. The adjoining barns at the rear are not of interest.
