Holcombe Road, Greenmount

On the cusp of the countryside yet just seconds walk from the bus routes and bistros, discover characterful country living, accessibly situated off Holcombe Road. Pull onto the spacious, paved driveway where a curved retaining wall frames the manicured front lawn. With ample parking for two cars and additional space in the garage, practicality meets kerb appeal at Holcombe Road.

Period checkered tiles guide you through the porch into a welcoming entrance hall, where heritage shades of emerald green, a wood laminate floor and a beautiful barleycorn twist spindle staircase set the scene for the home's characterful interior.

Freshen up in the cloakroom beneath the stairs, where the pretty mosaic-tiled splash back behind the wash basin enhances the home's aesthetic allure.

Turning right from front door, the lounge is a sanctuary of warmth and comfort. The open fire is nestled within its handsome period surround, complete with floral tile detailing and a gleaming black hearth, providing a striking focal point. Flanked by built-in storage and set against a deep navy chimney breast, original features, including a chair rail, picture rail, and a classic ceiling rose, enhance the sense of history, while light streams in through a broad bay window.

Step through to the heart of the home - an inviting open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Solid wood flooring flows seamlessly underfoot. Snuggle up in front of the warming glow of the handsome redbrick fireplace, where a log burner adds character. The dining area comfortably accommodates a table, seating and even an armchair. French doors flood the room with natural light, offering effortless access to the garden for alfresco dining.

Blending charm with function, ample storage awaits in the cream solid wood Shaker-style cabinetry with modern square handles, whilst appliances include a Rangemaster cooker with an electric hob, an inset Rangemaster sink and integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. A breakfast bar connects the spaces, making it perfect for casual dining.

Opening up from the kitchen, a door leads to the double garage -a useful parking space, ripe for conversion into a home office, gym, or additional living area.

Ascend the staircase, where a striking four-panel stained-glass window in shades of yellow and green casts a colourful glow at the turn. Overhead, a 1930s-style Art Nouveau pendant light set within a ceiling rose adds timeless elegance.

Nestled to the front of the home, bedroom three is a spacious double, featuring a built-in louvred wardrobe and offering leafy views of the landscaped garden. Currently used as a study, it offers flexibility for working from home or use as a comfortable guest room.

Tranquillity beckons in the principal bedroom, a serene and sophisticated retreat, with deep navy walls adding a sense of luxury. Natural light streams in through a broad bay window, offering peaceful views over the manicured front lawn. With ample space for a king-size bed and generous storage, sleep soundly in this restful haven.

Overlooking the rear garden, the second bedroom is equally bountiful in size, currently serving as a playroom but easily accommodating a king-size bed. Its built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage, while views beckon out towards Holcombe Hill and Peel Tower, adding to the sense of quiet calm.

Freshen up in the family bathroom, a soothing sanctuary, with ocean-green walls complementing modern white tiling. A full-sized bath with an overhead shower offers refreshment and relaxation, while built-in storage ensures everything is neatly tucked away. Warm your towel on the heated radiator, while a separate WC accessed from the landing provides extra convenience.

Finally, the fourth bedroom, painted in soft powder blue, overlooks the rear garden. A versatile space, this room is ideal as a nursery, study, dressing room or cosy single bedroom.

From the landing there is also access via a hatch up to the loft.

Step out from the dining-kitchen onto the sweeping patio, an ideal spot for summer gatherings. Curving gracefully around the patio, the low brick wall zones the different areas, leading to a lush green lawn - perfect for a kickabout or garden games.
