The Property

Holly Hill View is a strikingly beautiful barn conversion occupying a peaceful and idyllic countryside location, with magnificent unspoiled surroundings. Originally part of a larger house, Holly Hill View was developed in 2012 with a complete renovation and the addition of an extension and a new front entrance to create the stunning spacious property that stands today. Exceptional attention to detail and high quality craftsmanship delivers elegant contemporary living spaces with attractive character touches, and superb high specification fixtures and fittings throughout. The use of modern techniques also ensures impressive energy efficiency.



Split level design offers access to both floors of the property. At the lower level, glazed double doors and side panels fill a traditional stone arch and open to a bright and welcoming entrance hall with lovely slate flagged flooring that flows through to the spectacular open plan kitchen, dining room and family room. This is sure to be at the heart of family life and is a wonderful place to entertain and done with friends. Twin exposed stone arches define the kitchen/dining area and a relaxing sitting area. Bespoke cabinetry in elegant neutral colour palettes wrap around the kitchen area and house a range of high quality discreet appliances, with a Stoves range cooker as a centrepiece. Downlights and low level lighting subtly illuminate the kitchen, which also has ample space for a large dining table and chairs. The sitting area is bathed in natural light from full height glazing and three skylights, with a woodburning stove for warmth. The wide sliding glazed doors open to the patio outside for indoor/outdoor living. A utility room and lots of storage add practicality.



There are two generous double bedrooms on this floor, both finished in simple, modern style and served by a boutique bathroom with superb tiling and a contemporary suite comprising bath, separate shower, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail. Returning to the hall, there is a useful ground floor WC and more storage.



Stairs rise to the half landing where the upper entrance vestibule leads out to the front of the property and the driveway parking. Continuing to the first floor landing brings access to a fabulous sitting room and further bedroom accommodation. The sitting room makes the most of the elevated position with a unique corner of windows flowing up into a glazed ceiling to capture far-reaching views. The sitting room is a quiet escape with a striking woodburning stove to one end.



The principal bedroom is simply fantastic; exposed A-frame beams support the vaulted ceiling and wooden flooring runs underfoot. The vast bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes to one side. An exposed stone wall has an open arch through to the en-suite bathroom. A freestanding bath sits centrally, with a walk-in rainfall shower to one side and twin wash hand basins opposite. A WC and heated towel rail complete the gorgeous suite. The fourth bedroom offers versatility, and could become a study for working from home.



Externally

Holly Hill View benefits from landscaped gardens and outside space. The sliding doors from the family room lead out to the patio area with steps formed from heavy timber sleepers. There is lots of space for outdoor tables, chairs and barbecue equipment. Sleeper steps continue to a level with artificial grass which is overlooked by a wrap-around elevated decked seating area. Well-maintained lawns stretch away with borders of colourful plantings and shrubs.



The driveway and parking area has ample space for the parking and turning of several vehicles, with a large timber and slate garden shed/store to one side. Tucked behind this is another area of garden with mature trees that is currently a charming play area.
