4 bedroom detached house for sale

Stylish and refined living with opulent proportions, all set within delightful gardens with off-street parking and a garage, while enjoying a prime town centre setting. 16 Mill Street, Holt, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached residence in the heart of this celebrated Georgian market town.

Homes of this scale are seldom found so centrally within Holt, where period terraces and cottages traditionally line the narrower streets. This impressive modern home therefore represents a distinctive offering, combining generous proportions, contemporary design and beautifully maintained south-facing gardens.

Arranged over three floors, the accommodation extends to approximately 2,920 sq. ft. and has been thoughtfully designed to offer both versatility and an exceptional sense of flow between the principal living spaces. A welcoming central hallway sets the tone, with a useful utility room and guest WC positioned off the entrance. A study or snug sits just beyond, offering flexibility as an additional reception room or occasional ground floor bedroom if required.

The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living space that brings together the kitchen, dining area and sitting room. The kitchen overlooks the manicured gardens and is fitted with a comprehensive range of modern cabinetry centred around a generous island, creating a natural focal point for everyday living. The adjoining dining area forms a highly sociable setting for entertaining, easily accommodating larger gatherings.

The sitting room completes this impressive open-plan space, where a floor-mounted wood burner adds warmth and character. Large windows and double French doors invite natural light while opening directly onto the sun terrace, strengthening the connection between the interior and garden.

Beyond the sitting room is a further home office that leads through to a magnificent garden room. This striking space significantly extends the ground floor living accommodation and offers additional reception and dining possibilities. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, a pitched glazed roof and multiple doors opening onto the garden ensure the room is filled with light and perfectly positioned to enjoy views of the surrounding planting.

The first floor provides three generous double bedrooms, including a well-appointed principal suite with walk-in wardrobe area and a modern en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are served by a spacious family bathroom. The second floor offers a further bedroom, bathroom and landing area. While there is some restricted head height, this level provides a flexible space well suited to guests, hobbies or additional work-from-home accommodation.

To the front of the property there is private parking alongside access to an integral garage. Passageways on both sides of the house lead to the rear garden, with one side incorporating a useful garden store accessible from both front and back.

The rear garden is a particular highlight. A broad paved sun terrace wraps around a central lawn, creating a natural setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. Established borders are well stocked with shrubs and seasonal planting, providing colour, structure and a sense of privacy. A personal gate set within the rear boundary allows convenient pedestrian access directly into the town centre.

Mill Street enjoys a discreet residential position just moments from Holt’s vibrant centre. Located within the town’s conservation area, the street features an appealing mix of Georgian, Victorian and later architectural styles.
