Description
Coming to the market for the first time in twenty years, this delightful, architect-designed three-bedroom dormer bungalow offers a rare opportunity to make a very special home your own. Hollybank combines character, space and versatility with the timeless appeal of peaceful village living.
Arranged over two floors, the thoughtfully designed accommodation offers a wonderfully sociable flow, while the elevated position opens up magnificent panoramic views across the countryside to the rear.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped, two-tier garden is a real highlight. Designed to offer both privacy and sheltered corners, it takes full advantage of the surrounding landscape, including ancient ridge-and-furrow fields. At the top of the garden, a generous deck provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, relaxing with morning coffee or watching the sun set over the western horizon.
Adding another dimension to the property is the spacious garden room. Fully insulated and equipped with electricity and water, it offers exciting possibilities as a home office, artist’s studio, creative workspace or simply a wonderful summer retreat.
And while Hollybank feels wonderfully tucked away from the bustle of everyday life, convenience is never far away. The neighbouring villages of Woodhouse Eaves, Rothley, Mountsorrel and Quorn offer an excellent choice of shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, medical and dental services, and live entertainment. Closer to home, Swithland boasts the highly regarded Griffin Inn: a superb and popular village gastropub.
For lovers of the outdoors, beautiful walks begin practically on the doorstep, with Swithland Wood, Bradgate Park and the surrounding villages all within easy reach.
Hollybank offers the best of both worlds: the tranquillity of a rural setting, the warmth of village life and the everyday conveniences of nearby communities. A home with space to breathe, room to create and views to savour, it is ready to welcome its next owners and the next chapter in its story.
