Holmwood has a spacious double garage and excellent parking, and is tucked well away from the village road.
An entrance vestibule leads to a spacious reception hall with under stairs storage space and downstairs cloakroom. There is a large, light, dual aspect drawing room with Minster stone open fireplace and double doors to a conservatory built on a brick plinth, with double doors to outside.
The separate dining room has an arch feature and an attractive bay window with views over the rear garden. To the front there is a study/sitting room.

The adjacent large utility room comprises base and wall units, stainless steel sink, worktop, coat hanging area, space for washing machine, and boiler room (with floor standing oil fired boiler), and doors to the garage and the rear garden.
From the hall, an impressive staircase leads to the galleried first floor landing which has a built-in airing cupboard. Bedroom 1 is a large room with a superb view over the garden and adjacent farmland. An archway and step down lead to a comprehensively fitted dressing room with a Velux window, which leads onto an en suite shower room.
There are 3 further double bedrooms, 2 of which have built-in double wardrobes, and a large, fully tiled family bath/shower room.
Holmwood is approached via a long, private, gravelled driveway and a 5-bar gate on brick piers, leading into a large courtyard offering excellent parking for 6-8 vehicles, with a double garage (with electric up-and-over door, personal door, light and power, and rear window).

The delightful rear garden is particularly impressive, backing onto and having outstanding views over open farmland. It features lawns, stone and shingle terraces, a purpose built barbecue, a pond, a cabin, and a wide selection of trees and shrubs including conifers, crabapple, pampas grass, heather, oak, birch, holly, blackthorn and bamboo.
