Description
Holcombe Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse rendered over rubble with a slate roof and brick stacks on the left gable end, to the left of the entrance, and to the right of the gable. The building has a three-cell and cross passage plan, with a contemporary outshut at the rear. It is two storeys high and features five bays, with a mix of two and three-light 19th and 20th-century casement windows, some with glazing bars. The outer right-hand bay is gabled and projects slightly forward. The entrance is located in the second bay from the right and has a 20th-century flat roof glazed porch projection. Inside, there are deep hollow chamfered beams, plank and muntin screens on both the ground and first floors, a four-centred arch opening at the top of the stairs, and large exposed jointed crucks.
