Cottage. Late C17 - early C18, refurbished mid to late C19. Plastered cob on stone
rubble footings; stone rubble stacks with late C19 brick tops and one Rolle Estate
chimney pot; thatch roof.
L-shaped house in a terrace facing east onto High Street. 2-room front block with
central cross passage and stairs rising to right against the rear wall. Rear
service block at right angles behind right (northern) room. Left room has rear
lateral stack and right front room has end stack in party wall shared with No.15
High Street (q.v.) adjoining. Rear block has a projecting lateral stack. 2
storeys.
Symmetrical 2-window front of mid to late C19 2-light casements (those on the ground
floor taller than those on the first), all with the same glazing bars, rectangular
panes with a pattern of diagonal bars across the top. Central doorway now contains
a C20 part-glazed panelled door with a contemporary segmental hood. Directly above
there is a recessed oval panel. The main roof runs continuously over the
neighbouring cottages and the rear block is gable-ended.
Interior is mostly the result of the mid to late C19 refurbishment and most of the
joinery detail and chimneypieces date from this period. There are however some
indications that the late C17 - early C18 structure is still basically intact. The
left room has an exposed crossbeam and the rear block has an axial beam. Both have
neat deep soffit chamfers and are unstopped. The roofspace is inaccessible but the
scantling of the feet of the principals suggest that the original A-frame truss roof
survives intact. There are also a couple of original 2-fielded panel doors.
Hollytree Cottage in one of a group of attractive and varied buildings, most of them
listed, which line High Street as it rises to the Church of All Saints (q.v.)
