Built in the Georgian style it is believed to date back from around 1840. It has a particularly attractive façade with bay windows and a mature wisteria trained across the front elevation.

Holmside is situated within the village conservation area and has been with one family for 44 years. Internally the property offers comfortable, recently improved, accommodation on two floors only. Imbued with character and charm, the house boasts well proportioned rooms, some original features and sash windows that flood the interiors with natural light.
