The Holme

The Holme is a house dated 1667, built for William and Ellen Luty. It incorporates an earlier timber-framed structure, constructed with coursed squared gritstone and originally thatched. The building is a low, two-storey, four-bay design facing south, with an outshut running along the rear. It has quoins. A 20th-century board door is located in the third bay, featuring chamfered quoined jambs and a lintel shaped as a shallow Tudor arch with a recessed panel and relief carving inscribed 'WL 1667 EL'. Recessed-chamfered mullioned windows are present throughout, with 5, 9, and 4 lights on the ground floor and 4, 4, 2, and 3 lights above. A continuous hoodmould covers the ground-floor windows. The roof is steeply pitched, with shaped kneelers and a shallow gable parapet. An external stack is present on the left gable, and a large ridge stack is situated in the third bay.

The interior, not inspected during a resurvey, was previously reported to contain stone-arched fireplaces, timber panelling dated 1667, and board doors. The roof is a common rafter design. Examination of the earlier C15 or C16 timber-framed structure during restoration work around 1983 revealed an open hall with a rear aisle, a ceiled parlour, and a lofted kitchen, slightly shorter than the current building. The house was restored following a fire in 1983, which destroyed much of the roof structure.
