Full Description

Hollycroft is a mid-19th century Victorian villa situated on the north side of Wenlock Terrace, near the historic Fulford Road and is within the Fishergate Conservation Area. The area which the house now stands is believed to have been where a former nursery in the early 19th century once stood. There are also ties to the military barracks, especially during the First and Second World Wars where several houses on the terrace housed soliders. Hollycroft has two bay windows on the ground floor of the front elevation and single pane sash windows along the first floor. The stone lintel above the door is decorative with a semi-circular fanlight. A simple cornice, similar to Holly Lodge, runs underneath the roof. Hollycroft is attractive and adds to the Victorian streetscape of Wenlock Terrace.
