Tucked Discreetly Away Along A Picturesque Country-Style Lane In The Very Heart Of Wollaton Village, Holly House Is A Wonderfully Individual Extended Detached Home Occupying An Exceptionally Charming And Secluded Setting.

Tucked discreetly away along a picturesque country-style lane in the very heart of Wollaton Village, Holly House is a wonderfully individual detached home occupying an exceptionally charming and secluded setting.

Approached from Rectory Avenue, the property feels remarkably removed from its urban surroundings. The narrow lane, established trees and mature greenery create an almost rural sense of arrival, before revealing this distinctive red-brick home hidden amongst its gardens. Yet despite this wonderful feeling of privacy and seclusion, the property sits at the centre of one of Nottingham’s most established and sought-after residential locations.

The house itself has an abundance of personality. Its steeply pitched roofline, attractive brick elevations, leaded windows, timber detailing and delightful arched entrance immediately set it apart, creating a home with a character and architectural identity all of its own.

Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 1,383 sq ft (129 sq m) and is arranged over two floors. The ground floor begins with an entrance hall leading through to a generous living room, while the spacious kitchen-diner provides an excellent everyday family space with ample room for dining.

Beyond the living room lies one of the home's most distinctive features - an impressive extended sun room and dining space stretching to approximately 30 feet in length. Surrounded by extensive glazing and enjoying views across the gardens, this wonderfully light-filled room creates an impressive setting for entertaining, dining and relaxing throughout the year.

The first floor provides two bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom measuring approximately 13'11" x 11'9", together with the family bathroom, which features an impressively oversized walk-in shower. A fascinating attic room which extends to approximately 27'3" in length can be located from the landing via a loft access, creating an unusually versatile additional space.

Outside, the property is enveloped by established planting, mature trees and carefully enclosed garden areas which reinforce the home's wonderfully private atmosphere. The approach and setting are arguably amongst its greatest assets: Hidden from the main road and surrounded by greenery, Holly House possesses the feeling of a countryside retreat despite being positioned within Wollaton Village itself.

Perhaps most impressive of all is the property's proximity to one of Nottingham's most celebrated landmarks. Wollaton Hall and Deer Park are quite literally on the doorstep, just a couple of minutes' walk from the property, placing hundreds of acres of historic parkland, woodland and open green space within effortless reach. For morning walks, running, cycling or simply enjoying the surroundings, it is an exceptional amenity to have so close to home.

For buyers looking for something beyond the conventional, Holly House represents a genuinely rare opportunity - an individual detached home combining privacy, character and an enchanting village setting, with Wollaton Hall and Park just moments away.

Location

Rectory Avenue is arguably one of Wollaton’s most prestigious and exclusive residential addresses. Designed as a private and secluded community, it occupies an enviable position on the doorstep of the world-renowned Wollaton Hall & Deer Park, providing residents with almost immediate access to over 500 acres of magnificent parkland and green space - perfect for family days out, weekend walks or a peaceful evening stroll.

Over the past decade, Wollaton, and particularly Wollaton Village, has experienced a notable transformation. Many of the area's already substantial properties have been extensively renovated, extended and remodelled into impressive luxury family residences, further establishing the village as one of Nottingham’s most desirable and affluent residential locations.

Despite its wonderfully leafy and almost semi-rural atmosphere, Wollaton remains exceptionally well connected. Nottingham city centre is approximately 2.7 miles away, while the Queen’s Medical Centre is around 2 miles from the property. The prestigious University of Nottingham is approximately 2.1 miles away, with excellent access also available to the wider road network and the M1 approximately 2.4 miles away.

For families, the educational offering is another significant attraction. The property is positioned within the catchment area for the Ofsted-rated Outstanding Fernwood School, while the highly regarded Nottingham High School is approximately 3.7 miles away. A selection of well-regarded nurseries and early-years facilities can also be found nearby, further adding to the area's appeal for growing families.

Combining the tranquillity and prestige of Wollaton Village, immediate access to Wollaton Hall and its magnificent parkland, excellent schooling and remarkably convenient connections to Nottingham's principal employment, educational and transport hubs, Rectory Avenue offers a location that is exceptionally difficult to replicate.
