Description
The Hollies is a house dating from the mid-to-late 18th century. It is constructed of regular coursed limestone with a Collyweston slate roof. Originally designed with a two-unit plan, the house has two storeys and an attic. The front features a two-window range of 19th-century casement windows, each with a wooden lintel. First-floor windows have ashlar jambs. A 20th-century French door has been inserted into an original window opening on the left side. The house has ashlar gable parapets and a brick stack at the ridge. A 19th-century one-unit, one-window-range addition is attached to the left, and contains a 20th-century porch with a six-panel door. The interior, which was not inspected, is noted to have an open fireplace and some panelled window reveals.
