The Property

The Hollies is a striking Grade II Listed Georgian property nestled in the heart of a thriving Cumbrian market town. Positioned within easy reach of all local amenities, The Hollies also benefits from wonderful surrounding countryside and proximity to the historic line of Hadrian’s Wall. This handsome period house has been extensively renovated by the current owners to an exceptional standard, with sympathetic work carried out to retain the original atmosphere and elegant styling.

Interested parties may continue to develop the holiday let business that has proved successful for the current owners, or may wish to step into this stunning home for private use. The popular location and outstanding quality of the property have made The Hollies a desirable destination for holiday visitors to the area.

The well-proportioned entrance is framed with a fine example of a Georgian porch, leading to a vestibule and onwards to the beautiful and welcoming hallway. Striking tiling and traditional colours set the tone for the whole property. There are two impressive reception rooms to the right of the hall. The sitting room is hugely spacious with a dual aspect and an elegant fireplace. The panelled drawing room has a more traditional atmosphere as a formal reception room. Shuttered windows combine with the panelling, fireplace, coving and ceiling rose to give an air of grandeur and character. Across the hall is the bright and airy dining room which flows around to the superb kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of modern cabinetry and Karndean flooring, yet retains the spirit of the traditional building with a stone and brick inglenook. French doors lead outside for great al fresco dining. The kitchen is further served by a utility room to the rear which leads onwards to a generous rear hallway with cloakroom area and WC.

The magnificent staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first floor via a half landing illuminated by a striking arched window with decorative glazing. There are four double bedrooms on the first floor with varying outlooks. The principal bedroom is served by a lovely en-suite shower room. The other bedrooms are served by the wonderful family bathroom with Heritage suite comprising freestanding French-style bath, separate walk-in shower, Jack & Jill wash hand basins set on vanity units, WC and heated towel rail.

A second flight of stairs leads to the second floor with plenty of additional space that has potential to renovate and reconfigure. A bedroom and two store rooms could be used for a variety of purposes, including study space, a home office or play room. There is also another bathroom on this floor.

Finally, The Hollies benefits from a substantial cellar that could become a fantastic gym or cinema room. The cellar currently provides convenient storage space.

Externally

To the side of the property there is an attractive and well laid out Italian-style courtyard. Stone steps lead down from the kitchen French doors to the gravelled seating area which is perfect to relax or entertain outdoors. The Hollies also benefits from private parking for up to three vehicles on the drive to the side of the property, which is hugely convenient in this market town location.
