The Farmhouse, Hollymount Chase, Greenmount

Tucked quietly within an exclusive collection of just five executive homes, the Hollymount development offers an exceptional blend of space, style and countryside calm, all wrapped within one of Greenmount’s most desirable settings.

Previously Hollymount Farm, the development is set in a peaceful location between the hamlet of Hollymount and Greenmount Village, enjoying views over open countryside and farmland. 

Combining the timeless appeal of a beautifully restored farmhouse with one of Greenmount's most exclusive addresses, Hollymount Chase offers far more than an exceptional home. It is a lifestyle defined by countryside walks, outstanding schools, a thriving village community and the everyday luxury of having everything you need close at hand.

First come the fields, rolling away in every direction, then the trees gathered at the edges, and a slow soft sweep of countryside that makes everything else feel far behind. By the time The Farmhouse appears, there is already a sense of having left one world and entered another.

The block paved driveway draws in neatly, while opposite, the oak framed carport sits beneath its slate roof like a companion piece to the house itself, built in the same classic stone, with the same deep sense of belonging. It is a haven to arrive home to at the end of the day, to switch off the engine and sit for a moment as the last of the light catches the fields.

The home begins gently. Herringbone Karndean stretches out through the entrance hall, pale and quietly elegant beneath soft, neutral walls. Panelled detailing adds texture and rhythm, while the staircase rises to the left, drawing the eye upwards with its easy, graceful lines. Even here, before the house has properly unfolded, there is a feeling of calm and order, of spaces thought through with care.

Tucked beneath the stairs, the downstairs cloakroom is stylish and useful in equal measure, a neat and polished pause within the flow of the hallway.

To the right, the snug is the sort of room that holds itself a little apart from the rest of the house. Framed by a large window to the front, it feels wonderfully tucked away, a room for quiet coffee, homework spread across a table, soft lamplight and slow evenings. It could become a study, a library, a playroom, or simply a lovely place to retreat when the rest of the house is softly humming on around it.

At the rear, The Farmhouse broadens beautifully into its most sociable spaces, and the effect is immediate. Light pours through the kitchen and family room from every direction, spilling in through wide doors and windows until the whole back of the house feels open to the landscape.

The kitchen is arranged around a central island that welcomes company. Bar stools gather, glasses rest atop the counter, conversations begin and carry long into the evening. The island itself is generous, with storage tucked below and a wine cooler ready for slower dinners and long Sunday lunches. Around the walls, cabinetry wraps the room in pale, calming tones, paired with granite worktops and the unmistakable charm of a double Belfast sink beneath the rear window.

The details are thoughtful and quietly luxurious. Integrated ovens and appliances sit cleanly within the cabinetry, while the hot water tap and the broad preparation surfaces make the room feel as practical as it is beautiful. This is a kitchen made not just for cooking, but for living in.

Wrapped around from the kitchen, the utility room keeps the practical side of life tucked neatly out of sight. Matching cabinetry, a sink beneath the window, side access and generous storage ensure that laundry, muddy paws, and the clutter of everyday family life never intrude on the beauty of the main house.

Flowing from the kitchen, the family room is where the whole house seems to gather itself. There is space here for deep sofas, for children to play on the floor, for a bar area if the mood takes it, for the sort of lived in, light filled life that feels natural.

On brighter days, the doors slide back and the room leans naturally into the garden. On darker evenings, mood lighting softens the space, and the outside becomes a velvet backdrop beyond the glass. It is easy to imagine birthdays, Christmas mornings, and rainy Sunday breakfasts, everyone somehow ending up in the same room at once.

From the hallway, the staircase rises gently, soft carpet underfoot and the warm contrast of oak and darker metal carrying the same design language upwards. On the first floor, the landing feels fresh and bright, a calm bridge between the lively ground floor and the rooms set aside for rest.

One bedroom sits tucked away behind the staircase, a quiet and rather lovely room with enough separation from the others to make it ideal as an office, a hobby room, or a bedroom that feels a little more hidden from the rest of the house.

Across the landing, fields and treetops drift into view from the windows of another spacious double room.

Further along, another bedroom opens into peaceful retreat containing a dressing area and en suite, creating a room that feels more private, more self contained, as though it has been allowed a little more space to breathe.

Opposite sits another flexible room, perfect as a nursery, child’s room or another study, depending on the shape of life lived here.

At the end of the hall, the family bathroom feels like a place to disappear into for a little while. Fully tiled in soft, natural toned hues, with a freestanding bath at its heart and a large walk in shower tucked alongside, it feels naturally calm, as though mornings begin more softly and evenings unravel a little more slowly here.

Up on the second floor, the house holds its final secret. The principal suite stretches out beneath the roofline, private and generous and full of sky. Velux windows draw in long views across the surrounding countryside, while fitted storage lines the room in thoughtful succession, some lit within, some framing a bespoke dressing table that can be folded neatly away when not in use.

The room itself feels both expansive and settled, with space for a large bed, feature shelving, a media wall, and all the quiet rituals of daily life. Suitcases, shoes, winter coats, all the practical things are kept hidden, leaving the room itself calm and uncluttered.

The en suite opens in marble tones and soft light. A large walk in shower, twin basins, built in shelving and a wide Velux window make it feel less like a bathroom and more like a private retreat. Even here, the fields remain close, framed by the glass as though the room itself were resting within the landscape.

Step outside and the house opens once more. Porcelain paving stretches directly from the rear, broad enough for a hot tub, a barbecue, a dining table, and all the long summer evenings that follow. Beyond, the lawn runs far back, green and generous, offering room to play, to plant, to roam barefoot, or leave gloriously open.

This is the perfect garden to host. To write stories. To become the backdrop to family lunches, children’s games, firepit evenings and quiet, coffee in hand mornings when the countryside feels close enough to touch.
