Description

Holway House is an early 19th-century building with a late-Georgian front, likely originating from the 17th century. It is two stories high, constructed of stone with a roughcast front, a plinth, and a slate roof. The main house features a two plus two window arrangement and has 19th-century diagonally-set chimney stacks at both ends and in the center. The windows are sash style, with 16 panes and sills on the first floor, and marginal glazing bars on the ground floor. The right-hand ground floor windows have architraves. There is a timber porch that is partially trellised at the front and has small-pane glazing on the sides, leading to a six-panel door with a glazed top, set within a Regency reeded architrave adorned with bosses. A 16-pane sash window is located on the left-hand gable end. There is also a two-bay wing set back from the main structure, which has simple brick chimneys and small-pane sliding sash windows on both the first and ground floors, with a horned small-pane sash window on the right. A modern garage is situated at the end of the property.

The interior, which has been seen, retains panelled reveals and low ceilings. The staircase features simple balusters and a handrail that curves at the newel.
