Description
Holly House is a 17th-century house located on High Street in Long Buckby. It is constructed from ironstone ashlar and features a Swithland slate roof, with brick ridge and end stacks. The house has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window range. The central bay projects and includes windows at mezzanine levels that light the staircase. The gable displays an oval panel with side scrolls and a crest. The entrance door is situated to the left of the central projection, and there are three-light stone-mullioned windows on both the ground and first floors. A moulded string runs at first floor level and above the first floor windows. At the rear, there is a 20th-century two-storey central extension that covers the original front door, which has a four-centred arch head.
Inside, the house retains a complete set of moulded chamfered beams with stops, as well as moulded chamfered timber lintels over the window openings and the newel post of the dog-leg staircase with landings. There is a four-centred arch fireplace in the ground floor room to the right of centre, and the jambs of another fireplace can be found in the room to the left.
