Attractive stone built family home in a beautiful and peaceful setting, with approximately 2 acres and a variety of outbuildings.
Description
Dower House is an attractive stone built property located in a beautiful and peaceful setting on the edge of Holt. The main house offers approximately 3,370 sqft (313 sqm) of flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, with the extensive outbuildings providing a further approx. 4,941 sqft (459 sqm)
Originally two houses that have been combined, the property is presented in excellent condition throughout. It is approached through a beautiful rose arch in to an attractive sheltered courtyard. The entrance hall provides access to the sitting room and snug, with a modern fitted kitchen at the end of the corridor, with views over the rear garden and access to a utility room. The dining room leads from the kitchen and in turn a playroom, a further laundry and WC.
The first floor can be accessed via two staircases at either end of the house and consists of five well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, with loft space above.
OUTSIDE
Having once been part of Holt Manor Estate, the property has a wealth of outbuildings, including numerous stables, store rooms, a barn and a former cricket pavilion. These buildings offer a tantalising proposition for conversion to an incoming buyer, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. To the rear of the house is an attractive private garden largely laid to lawn, with mature trees, attractive planted borders and a patio. From here can be accessed the two former stable blocks.
Across the road from Dower House is a separate area of land which contains the former cricket pavilion and ample off street parking.
