HOLLY MOUNT.

Amersham Road, Knotty Green,
Beaconsfield,
Buckinghamshire.

1905

For C. T. Burke.

The RIBA hold photographs of the house and a summer-house; the summer-house is no longer existent.

There are several designs at the RIBA.

The materials are roughcast with tarred plinths for the walls, red tiles for the edges of the
string-courses, stone dressings and iron casements for the windows and green slates for the roofs.
Joanna Symonds

Tarred plinths are a vernacular feature which Voysey had started introducing into his work in c 1900.
