Description
Holly House and The Beeches is a manor house that has been converted into a pair of houses, dating from the 17th century and early 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings and quoins, topped with a stone slate roof featuring coped gables. It has a massive ashlar ridge stack and a gable stack. The structure is two storeys tall with attics, forming an L-plan.
The south elevation consists of three irregular bays. Holly House, on the left, represents the 17th-century portion of the building. It features a 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion window on both the ground and first floors, along with a small single light window with a recessed and chamfered surround at first floor level. There is a similar blind window above this. To the right, there is a larger 2-light chamfered mullion window on the ground floor and a larger 2-light window above, which has a square section flush surround. Additionally, there are two 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows in gabled dormers above. The masonry to the right is more regularly coursed, and there is a doorway with a massive ashlar lintel and jambs, inscribed with "S 1710."
The Beeches, on the right, has 18th-century 2-light square section flush mullion windows on each floor. The west gable end features a 2-light recessed and chamfered mullioned window on each floor and a blocked single light window to the right of the top one. The lower wing at the rear has two 2-light square section flush mullion windows on the ground floor and two smaller windows above.
Inside, there is an early 18th-century closed string dogleg staircase with turned balusters and a heavy moulded handrail. Names have been cut into the glass of the window on the first floor landing at various dates.
