A beautifully presented and modernised Edwardian family home extending to over 3,000sq-ft, situated within this well-served village

Situated within this popular and well-served village, Holly Lodge is a substantial family house, having been transformed in recent years through a meticulous modernisation programme from a much-loved but largely untouched Edwardian home to a stunning home that skillfully blends the original characteristics and proportions with contemporary nuances and beautifully presented accommodation.

The formal sitting room is filled with light with 4 large sash windows to the east and south, French doors to the terrace and original re-sanded and polished parquet flooring. There is a further reception room, presently serving as a snug/office with double aspect.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been beautifully crafted and well-equipped with a stylish range of shaker-style base and eye level units, quartz worktop, complemented by a large island with further storage, large breakfast bar and inset ceramic twin sink. There are integrated appliances to include dishwasher, fridge and freezer, along with freestanding range cooker with extractor over, bespoke dresser/TV unit with further drawer units.
