HOLYROOD - Physical Description 1
Holyrood is a single story double fronted Italianate villa on an L-shaped plan, with a tower projecting on the east elevation. It has timber walls, in imitation of ashlar, and a hipped slate roof, bracketed beneath the eaves, and four brick chimneys with rendered caps. The return verandah has a bullnose profile and is clad in corrugated iron with the original slender Corinthian columns and the majority of the cast iron lace frieze. The tower is also clad in timber, in imitation of ashlar, and has a steep pyramidal slate roof, surmounted by a delicate iron finial. The house has double hung timber sash windows and a square bay window with a corrugated iron roof on the north elevation.
The garden retains its original timber picket fence and remnants of vegetation including a large Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix Canariensis).
