Villa. c1819 by Decimus Burton for his father the builder, and one of his

straight from ground and screens architraved consoled doorway with flanking
windows and first floor sashes. The outer bays have architraved sashes, with
cornices on consoles to ground floor. Modillion cornice with balustraded
parapet and pediment over portico. The west front has central, tripartite,
pillared bow window. Cast iron geometric pattern guard rail to area on entrance
front. With its grounds and lawn sloping down to the lake, The Holme most
faithfully preserves the Reptonesque landscape setting for the villas
intended by Nash.
