5 bedroom detached house for sale

Impressive family home with stunning interiors, paddock, and views.

Holly Tree Barn is a superb country home which has been sympathetically extended, renovated, and significantly improved by the current owners.

The immaculately presented and versatile family accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises a welcoming reception hall with storage cupboards and galleried landing above, generous sitting room with wood burning stove and double doors out to the gardens, home office / further reception room, snug with stairs to the upper floor and adjacent playroom - these two rooms are separated by a feature double sided wood burning stove.

Directly off the snug is an entrance porch with a guest w/c off and access to the gardens.

A particular feature of the ground floor is a stunning open plan living / dining kitchen space with vaulted ceiling, exposed timber roof trusses, and Velux windows which flood the room with natural light. This 40-foot-long multi-purpose room has a bespoke kitchen with shaker style cabinetry, generous island unit, quartz works surfaces and splash backs, and integrated appliances. To the opposite end of the space is a separate sitting area with a full corner of floor to ceiling glazing framing views over the gardens, paddock land and open countryside beyond.

This show stopping area of the house, with access to the gardens, is ideal for entertaining.

Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room, and stylish shower room, both off the entrance hall.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead to a guest double bedroom with eaves storage and its own landing area. The remaining bedrooms are accessed via a separate staircase from the snug where a generous first floor landing leads to a fabulous principal suite with fitted dressing area and en suite shower room. At the opposite end of the house is a further en suite double bedroom with fitted wardrobes.

A third and fourth double bedroom, both with fitted wardrobes, are serviced by a luxurious house bathroom with separate freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

The property also benefits from a sonos sound system for most of the ground floor
and in the principal bedroom. There is also fibre broadband already installed.
