The Property
Holly House is a delightful, stone-built semi-detached Georgian property nestled in a sought-after, private location within the serene Northumberland village of Glanton. This former farmhouse enjoys stunning views of the surrounding open countryside while providing easy access to regional centers and beyond. The gated gravel driveway, front garden with attractive landscaping, and projecting conservatory entrance porch combine to create a charming aesthetic.

Inside, the main living areas are generously proportioned, bathed in natural light, and highly versatile. The layout is ideal for those seeking adaptable spaces for multi-generational living solutions. The entrance conservatory offers access to the first floor, a convenient utility room and an inviting kitchen, which features bespoke cream Shaker-style base and wall units with integrated appliances. A classic green AGA, sat within an inglenook fireplace adds warmth and character to the space. Additional cooking facilities are available in the utility room, which can also be accessed via a separate entrance porch.

The kitchen leads onto a spacious sitting room, elegantly decorated in neutral tones with decorative cornicing and a ceiling rose. A large bay window provides lovely views over the front garden. While the kitchen provides plenty of room for a family-sized table and chairs, the connecting dining room is ideal for more formal gatherings. Standout features include original exposed wooden beams, and a large, traditional brick fireplace fitted with a contemporary wood-burning stove. French doors open on a patio area, set up perfectly for an al fresco dining and entertaining area. A charming snug with original exposed wooden beams serves as an additional reception room with direct access from the front garden. The space is thoughtfully arranged to create a cozy and intimate seating area around a wood burner set in a feature fireplace. The alcoves offer ample storage space, and a staircase leads to the first floor.

The adjacent stable block retains its original stable doors and currently functions as a storage space. Equipped with power and lighting, it offers the potential for conversion into additional living accommodation or a garage.

With two sets of access stairs, the first-floor accommodation can easily be divided into two distinct areas. On the right-hand side you’ll find two spacious double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, served by a generous family bathroom featuring a striking red freestanding roll-top bath and a corner shower cubicle. A smaller bedroom provides versatile space and is currently arranged as a dedicated home office. The second set of stairs leads to two additional double bedrooms with large windows and charming window seats. One of these bedrooms enjoys an en-suite bathroom with a bath, while a separate shower room serves the other.

Externally
A separate shared access road leads to the entrance gate and large gravelled driveway, offering off-road parking for multiple vehicles. This driveway acts as a boundary between the house and the beautifully landscaped formal gardens, which feature mature planting. Beyond the gardens, a small paddock has been converted into a spacious lawned area which offers stunning views over the open countryside. Opposite the main house is an outbuilding, ideal for storage or as a dedicated workshop area.
