Description

Holly Lodge is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 18th century, with an extension added in 1835. The building features painted snecked ashlar on a chamfered plinth, with painted V-jointed quoins and a moulded cornice. It has a graduated greenslate roof and ashlar chimney stacks. The structure is two storeys high with four bays, while the extension is also two storeys but has a single bay and a lower roof line.

The main entrance consists of a six-panel door beneath a fanlight with interlaced bars, set within a rounded architrave that includes key and impost blocks. The windows are sash style, framed in painted stone architraves. The extension has a four-panel door under a radial fanlight, also in a rounded architrave with key and impost blocks, and features sash windows with glazing bars in painted stone surrounds. In front of the extension, cobbles display a white-pebble date of 1835 along with the initials J.P. The right end wall has external stone steps leading to a 20th-century door set in a 19th-century stone surround.
