Description

Believed to date from 1898, Holly House has been substantially refurbished to provide a well proportioned five bedroom family home with garaging and a studio. Salient points include high ceilings, deep skirtings and picture rails to principal reception rooms, wood framed windows (some sash), wood flooring, and ornate fireplaces, landscaped driveway and established gardens.

Principal reception rooms comprise a well proportioned sitting room with bay window and wood burning stove and a dining room with attractive fireplace and fitted storage. There is also a study/snug.

The excellent kitchen/breakfast/family room is a later addition with bi-fold doors spanning the width of the room and a roof light. The kitchen, by Chamber Furniture, is well fitted with a range of wall and base units with peninsular breakfast bar, some integral appliances and space for an American-style fridge/freezer.

An adjoining utility room benefits from further storage and doors lead to the integral garage and a separate staircase rises to the excellent studio with shower room, currently utilised as a gym but offers flexibility for a number of uses. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

From the entrance hall stairs rise to the first floor and the principal bedroom suite which has a bedroom with bay window, a dressing room and en suite bathroom with free standing bath and separate shower cubicle.

Four further bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, one with a generous walk-in wardrobe and all served by two shower rooms, one with a separate WC.

The west facing rear gardens are mainly laid to lawn with planted borders and two paved terraces adjoining the property provide ideal areas for al fresco entertaining. The garden is hedge and fence enclosed providing a secure environment for children and pets. A pedestrian gate leads to the driveway.

The property is approached via a paved driveway providing off street parking for several vehicles and leading to the double garage. A pathway leads to the front porch and there are well maintained landscaped gardens which wrap around to the side and are well screened with mature hedging. In total the plot amounts to about 0.24 of an acre.
