Holly Cottage is an attractive part-tile hung Grade II listed detached family home offering almost 1,500 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over two floors.

Configured to provide an elegant and practical family and living space, sensitively combining modern amenities and neutral décor throughout with period features including casement and sash glazing, some exposed beams and an exposed brick open inglenook fireplace.

The ground floor accommodation opens from a glazed porch. It comprises a large 24 ft front aspect sitting room with bespoke shelving, useful storage, a feature inglenook open fireplace and a door to an L-shaped inner hall with a rear aspect dining area, a door to the rear garden and an en suite fitted utility room with modern shower and useful cloakroom.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a kitchen fitted with a range of bespoke wall and base units, a double Belfast sink, complementary wooden work surfaces, and modern integrated appliances. This leads to the front aspect timber-framed conservatory, which features tiled flooring, a glazed roof, and large picture windows overlooking the garden on three sides, with French doors opening onto the terrace.

Stairs rise from the inner hall to the first floor, which provides a dual aspect principal bedroom with fitted storage, two further double bedrooms, one with fitted storage, and a part wood-lined family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate neighbouring WC.

Outside

The property is approached through twin stone pillars and high double wooden gates, leading onto a tarmac driveway that provides a private parking area. Adjacent double gates open onto a path that leads through the garden to the side terrace and the property. The well-maintained wraparound garden, which surrounds the house on three sides, is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds. It features a timber summer house with full-height glazing and French doors to the garden, a useful attached store, a shed, a wood store, and a spacious paved side terrace accessed from the conservatory—ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The entire garden is screened by mature hedging, offering a high degree of privacy.
