Description
Holme Cottage is a house that likely dates from the early to mid-19th century. It features pebble-dashed rubble on a plinth, with rusticated stucco pilasters, an eaves band, and a moulded cast-iron gutter. The roof is hipped and covered with graduated slate, complemented by stone chimneys. The building has two storeys and three bays, arranged symmetrically. The central entrance consists of a panelled door with a fanlight, set within a corniced surround. On either side of the door are sash windows with glazing bars, and there are three additional sash windows above, all framed in stucco surrounds. There is a lower wing attached to the rear, but it is not of particular interest.
