The property
Holmside is an attractive detached double fronted family home, constructed of red brick and sensitively extended to offer more than 1,900 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, the neutral décor throughout providing a cohesive and practical environment. Configured to provide an ideal family and entertaining space maximising the stunning far-reaching views over open countryside, the ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with wooden flooring.

To the rear, a 24-foot kitchen/breakfast room offers chequerboard quarry tiles underfoot, a range of wooden wall and base units, a characterful exposed brick corner ingle with cast iron stove, and modern integrated appliances. The breakfast area provides space for a generously sized table and opens via double doors into a triple-aspect conservatory, complete with a vaulted glazed roof and large picture windows incorporating French doors to the rear terrace. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful fitted utility room neighbouring the kitchen/breakfast room and having chequerboard quarry-tiled flooring, walk-in storage, a WC and a door to a rear porch and the rear terrace and garden beyond.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to the first floor which provides a triple aspect principal bedroom, two further double bedrooms, a further L-shaped double bedroom, currently configured as a dressing room, and a modern family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle.
