What is recorded here
Holly House in Moynalty was designed to match its neighbours, which is a fierce thing to do to neighbours. You spend years convincing yourself you’ve the finest house in the village, and somebody builds two more to take the good out of it.
Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house, built c.1860. Roughcast rendered walls with rendered quoins and plinth course. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack and dormer windows. Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Modern slate roofed porch. Rubble limestone boundary walls with roughly dressed gate piers having cast-iron gates.
This house and the adjoining pair were designed to complement the existing architecture at Moynalty, and are similar in execution and detailing to many of the buildings in the village. It retains some of the original external features and materials. The boundary walls and gate enhance the setting of the house.
