Description
Holmes House is a house dating from the early 17th century, with later additions and alterations, including a late 20th-century range at the rear that is of no special interest. The building is constructed of colourwashed brick and features a pantile roof. It has two storeys and five bays, with a two-course band. The entrance is located in a two-storey porch that contains a 20th-century glazed door set beneath a round arch with imposts, flanked by engaged columns that support a moulded pediment. Inside the porch, there is a six-fielded plank door under a round arch. On the first floor, there is a two-light mullion window beneath a pediment, with round openings on the sides in cogged surrounds. The ground floor features three-light mullion and transom windows, with triangular pediments on the outer bays and segmental pediments on the inner ones. The right end of the house has diamond stacks, and the right gable is curvilinear with a moulded gable band, while the left gable also has a band. The interior includes chamfered beams.
