Holly House is a very handsome late Victorian property with origins dating back to 1879. It is positioned in the heart of the village and set back from the road, creating privacy.
It offers generous light and airy living space with an abundance of character and is very well-presented. Features include high ceilings, sash windows, window shutters to certain rooms, fine coving, picture rails and panelled doors.
The front door, which has a fanlight above with 'Holly House' etched into it, opens to a large entrance hall at the heart of the house, off which is a door to a large cloakroom.
There are four formal reception rooms. The elegant drawing room has an attractive working fireplace, a door opening to the formal side garden and one to the family room with recessed bookshelves and cupboards beneath. The cosy sitting room has a working fireplace with a fine mantelpiece surround and original exposed floorboards. A large study with oak floorboards completes the formal reception room accommodation.
The fitted kitchen/breakfast room has a door to a useful pantry, an American fridge freezer, Britannia multi-fuel oven with an extractor hood above, drinks fridge and an integrated Neff microwave and Siemens dishwasher. It flows through to the wonderfully light garden room that has a glazed roof and French doors opening to the south-facing terrace. There is also a large fitted utility/boot room with a side door, tall integrated drinks fridge and space for a separate washing machine and tumble dryer.
The staircase has a wreath handrail and rises to the first floor split level landing with a feature round window and four/five bedrooms and three well-appointed bathrooms.
The superb principal bedroom suite has exposed floorboards, a walk-in wardrobe and a large en suite with a double walk-in shower. The guest bedroom has a built-in cupboard and also has an en suite with a walk-in double shower.
There are three further spacious double bedrooms, one of which has a feature Victorian fireplace and one has a door to the fifth single bedroom that could alternatively be used as a dressing room, nursery or study. These bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom with a bath and a separate walk-in shower.
The private gardens and grounds wrap around Holly House. A gravel drive sweeps up alongside an expanse of lawn to gravel parking in front of the house and detached double garage. The private rear west and south-facing lawned garden has a range of mature trees, including a majestic Eucalyptus tree. There are strategically positioned well-stocked borders of evergreen and perennial plants providing all year round interest and colour.
Doors from the garden room open to a south-facing paved terrace, which wraps around to the western side of the house where there is also a green house.
The eastern side of the house has a handsome elevation with a door opening from the drawing room to formal garden with raised beds surrounded by shingle and lined with dwarf box hedging.
