Impressive, well-presented Victorian townhouse.

Description

Holly House offers the rare opportunity of a handsome Victorian, five bedroom semi-detached house on one of the best roads in Banbury, within reach of an array of amenities and the train station. Having been significantly upgraded by the current owners, the property is beautifully presented and provides spacious accommodation, with wonderfully high ceilings and a wealth of period features.

An impressive hall features historic tiled floor and stained glass windows. The spacious dining room offers an attractive fireplace, wooden floor and ceiling rose. The light and charming sitting room features a working fireplace and double doors into the terrace. The stylish kitchen / breakfast room has been recently re-fitted and includes an island unit, Belfast sink, Aga and space for seating. There is also a useful utility room and WC.

The first floor provides two light and spacious double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a further double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, which works both as a bedroom or dressing room. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms, a shower room and storage.

There is also a substantial cellar and store, which could be converted to provide further accommodation for a variety of uses.

The south facing garden is deceptively large and provides a wonderful family and entertaining space, with off-street parking and a carport.
