A highly attractive, charming & substantial family home in the sought-after village of Robertsbridge.



Description

Situated at the top of Fair Lane in the historic village of Robertsbridge, Holly Lodge is an elegant, detached double-fronted house dating back to 1840. This beautifully renovated home enjoys a private landscaped garden, together with gated off-street parking, a log store, and a small garden shed.

The house has been thoughtfully renovated in 2023, with works including a new slate roof, central heating, new double-glazed windows with privacy panels and extensive restoration works to enhance its character and comfort. Inside, the interiors are tastefully presented, featuring bespoke wooden shutters, a welcoming open fireplace, and a stylish kitchen fitted with quartz worktops, integrated oven and hob, and a separate utility room providing good built in storage. The dining room boasts a restored wood floor. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom, while generous storage is provided by two loft spaces.

The garden has been redesigned to create an inviting space with a paved terrace, flower beds, and new fencing provides excellent screening, ensuring privacy without being overlooked.

The extension to the rear is currently single-storey, offering scope (subject to planning) to create a double-storey addition, enlarging the third bedroom into a spacious suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom.
