A SUBSTANTIAL DOUBLE-FRONTED VICTORIAN FAMILY HOME WITH GENEROUS LIVING SPACE, BEAUTIFUL GARDENS AND IMPRESSIVE OUTBUILDINGS
Owner’s Thoughts
“The Hollies has been our family home for over 12 years, and we’ve invested a great deal into making it comfortable and practical while retaining the character of the original Victorian house. We particularly enjoy the spacious kitchen and dining area, which opens onto the garden, and the flexibility of having so much outdoor space and a separate building for hobbies and creative projects.”
What We Love
“What really stands out to me about The Hollies is the combination of generous accommodation and versatility. The two substantial reception rooms and impressive open-plan kitchen create excellent spaces for everyday family life and entertaining, while the landscaped gardens, ample parking, detached double garage and 30ft insulated hobby room offer a wealth of additional possibilities.”
The Rest Of The Story
The Hollies is a substantial double-fronted Victorian house offering generous accommodation, a wealth of character and an impressive range of indoor and outdoor spaces. Having been a much-loved family home for approximately 12½ years, the property has benefited from considerable investment and improvements, with the owners carefully adapting the layout to create a more practical home for modern family life while retaining the feel of the original period property.
Upon entering, the spacious hallway provides a welcoming introduction and leads through to two particularly generous reception rooms. Measuring approximately 26ft by 17ft and 15ft by 15ft respectively, these rooms offer excellent flexibility for a range of uses, whether as formal sitting and dining areas, family lounges or spaces for entertaining. Their impressive proportions provide plenty of scope to arrange furniture around the needs of the household.
One of the standout features is the very large open-plan kitchen and dining area, created through a substantial reconfiguration of the former utility room, dining room and boot room, together with part of one of the original lounges. This project formed part of an investment of approximately £60,000 and has transformed the layout to provide a more sociable and practical heart to the home. Large bifold doors open directly onto the patio and landscaped garden, creating a natural connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces and making this an appealing setting for family meals, gatherings and entertaining. A separate utility area with WC adds valuable everyday convenience.
The first-floor accommodation comprises four bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family members, guests or alternative uses. A large family bathroom completes the main accommodation and has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, having been taken back to brick as part of the improvement works. Elsewhere, many rooms have been replastered and redecorated, new flooring has been installed, and the property benefits from a new boiler. A wood-burning stove has also been installed and can power the boiler, providing an additional heating feature.
Outside, The Hollies continues to impress with substantial gardens to both the front and rear. The landscaped grounds incorporate several patio areas, a paved courtyard and a large fish pond ( Fish not included), providing a variety of spaces to relax, enjoy the garden or entertain outdoors.
Practicality is equally well catered for, with driveway parking for approximately four to five vehicles and a detached double garage with power. An especially notable addition is the substantial 30ft man cave and craft room, which is insulated, heated and benefits from its own WC and power. This versatile outbuilding offers considerable scope for hobbies, creative pursuits, a workshop or a dedicated home working environment, depending on individual needs.

This balance of village character and practical convenience adds to the appeal of the location for those seeking a more relaxed pace of life while retaining access to useful amenities.
With its generous Victorian proportions, thoughtfully reconfigured living space, extensive gardens, ample parking and valuable outbuildings, The Hollies is a distinctive family home combining period character with practical versatility. The scale and variety of accommodation provide plenty of opportunity to enjoy the property both inside and out.
