Description
Believed to date from the 1870s, Holly Tree Cottage is an attractive semi-detached period cottage, which has been sympathetically extended and improved over the years to create an excellent family home extending to over 2,100 square feet. Sitting in a plot of about a third of an acre, the house also benefits from a large detached garage and a modern home office within the garden, ideal for home working.
The floor plan gives a comprehensive overview of the full extent and layout of the house. There are two formal reception rooms on the ground floor: a dual-aspect dining room with electric stove, and a generous sitting room with fireplace and inset gas fire, and folding doors opening fully to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditional-style units with wooden worktops and a two-oven Aga; there is ample space for a table in the adjoining breakfast room. A useful utility room and an understair cloakroom complete the ground floor.
There are five bedrooms on the first floor: bedroom one has a good range of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room; bedrooms two and three also have en suites. A large family bathroom with bath, twin basins and a separate shower cubicle serves the remaining two bedrooms.
Outside
Holly Tree Cottage is approached from the lane via a gated driveway, offering ample space for several cars to park; to the front of the house is an area of lawn bounded by post and rail fencing. The driveway leads to a store room adjoining the side of the house (housing the oil tank) and to the large garage beyond.
The rear garden is largely laid to level lawn, which extends away from the house to the north. There are two paved seating areas from which to enjoy the gardens and the outlook over the farmland beyond: one accessed directly from the kitchen, and a larger terrace to the rear of the garage. To the far end of the garden is an enclosed kitchen garden with a greenhouse and several raised beds, the fenced, over ground swimming pool and the detached home office.
