Holgate House

Its site was purchased by Edward Matterson in 1770, and he completed the house in 1774, probably as a speculative development.

The property had several owners before, in 1786, it was purchased by William Tuke on behalf of Lindley Murray, who lived there until his death in 1826.

The original part of the house is three bays wide, and there are two-storey wings either side of the main block.

When built, it had a summer house in the garden, but this was later moved to The Mount School.

[1][3] The door surround is original, as its the staircase, and two first floor fireplaces.
