Description

Holm House and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and barn dated 1730, marked with the initials R.A. The building is constructed from coursed and squared pink sandstone rubble, featuring V-jointed quoins and an eaves cornice. It has a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables and kneelers, along with stone chimney stacks. The barn is made from a mix of sandstone and cobbles, also topped with a graduated greenslate roof.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of six bays, with a lower two-bay barn to the right. The entrance features a top-glazed four-panel door set in a bolection moulded architrave, topped by a segmental pediment that encloses the date and inscription. The windows are flat stone-mullioned, set in stone architraves and beneath moulded cornices, with smaller fire windows flanking them on both floors. The barn has a blocked entrance that has been converted into a window, and there are large plank doors in the cart entrance to the right. The rear wall of the farmhouse displays two-light stone mullioned windows and an external 18th-century lead pump.
