About this home
FOUR BEDROOM DETACHED CHALET | PLOT APPROACHING ONE ACRE | STABLES & PADDOCKS | SUBSTANTIAL OUTBUILDINGS | EXCEPTIONAL VERSATILITY
NO ONWARD CHAIN! Occupying an impressive plot approaching one acre, Holmwood is a spacious four bedroom detached chalet offering a rare combination of versatile living accommodation, extensive grounds and a wealth of outbuildings. Previously utilised as an equestrian property, the grounds benefit from established stabling, paddocks and grazing land, whilst also presenting exciting opportunities for those seeking substantial outdoor space for recreational, practical or lifestyle purposes.
Internal Layout - The property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, and is abundant in character. The ground floor is comprised of a generous lounge/diner with a feature fireplace, spacious kitchen, separate office, two double bedrooms and a family shower room. Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms and an additional bathroom, as well as a plentiful supply of eaves storage and a cupboard which hosts the boiler. The flexible layout lends itself perfectly to family living, with the added benefit of a dedicated office space, which adds the option of a third ground floor bedroom.
External Benefits - The grounds are undoubtedly one of Holmwood's standout features, offering an exceptional amount of space and versatility.

Further benefits include a large detached outbuilding measuring approximately 40'1" x 19'9", a separate garage, adjoining carport, multiple sheds and a driveway for upwards of five vehicles. Whilst ideally suited to equestrian enthusiasts, the grounds and additional buildings offer fantastic potential for alternative uses, including workshops, hobbies, storage, outdoor recreation or simply creating an expansive private garden, subject to any necessary consents.
