Description

Holly House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from around 1680 and 1700, with early and mid-19th century alterations. It was reroofed and modified in 1914. The building is constructed of coursed squared ironstone with limestone dressings and has Welsh slate roofs. It features coped gables with kneelers and has two gable stacks and a single off-centre ridge stack made of stone.

The house is two storeys high and consists of four bays in a T-plan layout. The south side has a three-bay front with a 19th century four-panel door and overlight, flanked by two single three-light mullioned and transomed wood casements. All these openings have keystoned flat arches. Above the door, there is a two-light wooden casement flanked by two single three-light casements, all with wooden lintels.

To the right, the service end features a 19th century four-panel beaded door, next to an ovolo mullioned leaded casement with a hood mould. Above this, there is a similar three-light mullioned casement. The rear elevation has an almost central two-storey gabled stair turret with a three-light stone mullioned casement on each floor. To its left is a mid-19th century gabled wing with a gable stack and a three-light stone mullioned casement with a hood mould, with a three-light wooden casement above it.

Beyond this, to the right, there is a lean-to toilet with an 18th century two-panel door. To the left of the service end, there is a three-light stone mullioned leaded casement. The rear wing's return angle features a C18 two-light iron casement with leaded glazing above it. The east gable has two small square chamfered casements above, one of which is blocked.

Inside, there is a semicircular staircase from around 1814, featuring stick balusters, a scrolled mahogany handrail, and cast iron vase and stem newels. The interior also includes chamfered spine beams with stops and two 18th century two-panel fielded doors.
