Description

A charming Georgian manor house with scope to update, with impressive gardens & grounds of about 3.5 acres & a range of outbuildings, superbly located on the edge of Four Elms.

Description

Approached over a sweeping treelined driveway, Holmwood Place is an elegant late Georgian former manor house, believed to have been originally constructed in the 1830s with later additions, retaining an abundance of history and period features, reflecting Georgian, Art Deco and Gothic influences. The property is now in need of refurbishment, and offers an exciting opportunity for the incoming purchaser to restore a rare and untouched charming piece of history. Salient features include a sweeping Art Deco staircase, decorative coving, high ceilings, parquet and tiled flooring, Adams style fireplaces with marble surrounds, full length and bay windows, wood panelled walling and sash windows.

A vestibule entrance leads to the impressive reception hall with decorative tiling and provides access to the principal reception rooms, which comprise a drawing room, dining room, music room/study and an orangery, all with doors opening to the grounds. The kitchen/breakfast room is served by an adjoining pantry and scullery.

There is a playroom/studio with built-in storage cupboards and a lift rising to the first floor. The western wing of the ground floor houses a boiler room, hallway with utility area, wine cellar, work shop and gardeners cloakroom.

Arranged over the first floor are 5 bedrooms, all with bay windows and spectacular views to the gardens and grounds. A Jack and Jill bathroom adjoins the second bedroom. There is a further bathroom, shower room and W.C. Approached via a separate staircase is a magnificent double aspect billiard room with a charming bay window.

Arranged over the second floor is a penthouse with two bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen and separate W.C and bathroom.

The gardens are a real feature of the property and span around the house with areas of lawn, woodland and vegetable patches. Within the walled garden are flowerbeds, with wisteria, roses and jasmine adorning parts of the wall and house. There is a swimming pool, a peach house in need of repair, and a potting shed. Adjoining the kitchen garden is the original game larder and old dairy, with two gardeners cloakrooms and a covered hall linking to the house.

The grounds amount to about 3.5 acres in total.
