With its pleasing architectural design, Holly House offers light, airy, flexible-use accommodation with a calming neutral colour palette and an open ambience perfectly suited to modern lifestyles. At the rear of the home, filled with natural light courtesy of a skylight lantern and two sets of bi-folding doors, the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living room also provides a seamless link to the outside terrace.

Fitted with sleek cabinetry, with stone worksurfaces and integrated appliances, the kitchen features an island unit which creates a subtle divide to the casual seating zone. The adjoining utility room offers space for additional domestic appliances and an external door. A generous separate sitting room features a bay window recess and a feature fireplace.

The cool décor continues on the first and second floors, with the luxurious principal bedroom on the first level enjoying an elevated outlook over the rear garden, access to a dressing room and a stylish en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor, one of which benefits from a modern en suite, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. A further staircase rises to the second floor and skylight windows ensure this uppermost level is light and bright, with three versatile-use rooms and a smart shower room.

An attractive selection of shrubs, perennial plants and specimen trees at the boundaries frame an area laid to lawn, which offers ample space for children’s play. A paved terrace adjoins the house with direct access from the living area providing the ideal setting to entertain, dine or relax.
