Doldowlod was purchased by the engineer James Watt of Soho, Birmingham, in 1803, and was developed as a country residence by his son James Watt junior (1769-1848). The Watt family gradually acquired a substantial country estate that continued to expand up to the time of James Watt Gibson-Watt (1831-91). The Holmes was probably built in the 1830s and is shown on the 1840 Tithe map.

The symmetrical 3-bay front has a central entrance in an advanced gabled bay. It has replacement double-panelled doors and 2-pane overlight in a chamfered surround, and 2-light casement above. The outer bays have 3-light wooden mullioned-and-transomed windows under flat arches. Added lean-tos are set back on both sides. The L-hand has a blocked camber-headed doorway with inserted 2-light casement. The R-hand has a similar doorway with boarded door. The 2-window gable ends have replacement metal-framed attic windows under wooden lintels. The lean-tos have a similar window and a doorway, blocked to the R-hand, and with boarded door to the L-hand.
