Low Hollins Farmhouse and Attached Garden Wall

A farmhouse with an attached garden wall, probably dating to the early to mid 18th century, with a later garden wall; it has been altered and recently restored. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed mixed rubble with large, irregular quoins, and has a graduated slate roof. It follows a double-depth, double-fronted plan, with its back facing the lane.

The south front has two storeys and an attic, originally with a symmetrical 2:1:2 window arrangement, though it now has four windows at the first floor. A stone-slate band sits above the first floor, pitched in the centre, indicating a former upper storey to the porch. The remaining single-storey porch is gabled, featuring a square-headed outer doorway with a moulded surround and a stone side bench; it formerly had an upper storey with a dovecot, the removal date of which is unknown. Both floors have 4-pane top-hung casement windows imitating sashes, all with monolith lintels. Patched masonry in the centre of the first floor reveals the position of a former doorway to the dovecot in the porch. Gable chimneys are present. Each gable wall has two small attic windows; the upper floor of a wing to the associated barn abuts the first floor of the left (west) gable wall, forming a covered entry from the lane. The rear elevation, facing the lane, has a stone-slate band over the first floor, interrupted in the centre by two stair-windows, a doorway to the right of the stair-window, and wide 6-pane windows at ground floor and 4-pane windows at first floor.

The interior retains open-plan spaces, divided by panelling. The ground floor has a large housepart to the right with a rear dairy, and a small, unheated parlour to the left with a rear kitchen. The first floor has two large chambers at the front and two smaller ones to the rear. C17-style plank-and-muntin panelling is found at the rear alongside the staircase and doors, while larger C18 fielded panelling is used at the front, encompassing the doors. A cupboard is built into the panelled partition of the rear right chamber. Other features include an original stone fireplace lintel (ex situ) in the housepart, a C18 fireplace in the kitchen, a dog-legged staircase with a closed string, square newels, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail, a lateral beam in the front right chamber with a cyma-stopped chamfered edge, and a roof structure of 3 pegged collar trusses with 3 pairs of trenched purlins.

The drystone rubble garden wall, approximately 1 metre high, is attached to the south front corners, enclosing a square garden. It forms a group with the attached barn.
