Reading Road, Heckfield, Hook, Hampshire, RG27

Holdshott House is a striking red brick country home, approached via a gated gravel driveway and offering excellent privacy. Adorned with mature wisteria, the property blends period charm with extensive modern living and equestrian facilities.

The oldest part of this Grade II listed property is purported to have been formerly known as Putham Hall, appearing in the parish map of 1774. The house features a grand entrance hall with open fireplace and an oak-panelled secondary hallway with sweeping staircase. Reception spaces include a formal drawing room with south-facing garden access, and several versatile rooms ideal for a home office, TV snug or playroom.
At the heart of the home is an open-plan family kitchen and dining area, fitted with Neptune cabinetry, a bespoke island with Everhot range cooker, walk-in pantry and adjoining utility/boot room. Full-height oak and glass doors open to the garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. There is also a lower ground level room/basement.
The first and second floors offer seven generous ensuite bedrooms. The principal suite includes a Juliet balcony with garden views, a walk-in dressing room, and spacious bathroom.
The extensive grounds include formal gardens, terraces, orchard, woodland area with wildlife pond, and level lawns. Equestrian amenities feature two stables (with water), tack room, stable yard, menage, field shelter, and a large paddock area.
A large, detached outbuilding offers three garages and an oak framed barn (used for two cars), and a studio above. This outbuilding has mains electricity and water and private drainage and a separate entrance - it may have the potential to be converted into detached accommodation subject to all necessary planning approvals. This exceptional property offers both flexibility and lifestyle in a peaceful rural setting.
