Holmes Road, Kirton Holme

Whilst no property could truly claim to have universal appeal, The Farmhouse will surely attract a diverse range of viewers simply because it has so many of the elements that we are often asked for: Extensive gardens, extensive space, parking, garaging, no immediate neighbours, superb country views… it’s a long list of virtues. And there’s also the versatility of a substantial annex…

The current owners had the Annex built and whilst technically an annex to the main residence, structurally it really is a fully equipped 2nd property – and it’s one of the best we’ve seen for some time. Externally, they’ve succeeded in creating a property with the design cue’s of a traditional barn conversion, even down to the Juliet balcony from what once would have been a hay loft. As you’d expect from a recently constructed property, inside it feels warm and modern – the ground floor features underfloor heating and includes a kitchen, cloakroom and a lovely large lounge currently used as a snooker room which opens onto the private rear gardens. The first floor space serves as a lounge with two bedrooms and a shower room.

As impressive as the Annex is, it is The Farmhouse itself – with three reception rooms and four bedrooms (including a master bedroom with en-suite and dressing room) that provides the principal space needed for larger families. The farmhouse has been greatly improved by the owners and these updates have sensibly retained the character that you might hope for. This includes Oak doors and flooring, a wood-burning stove in the lounge and traditional cooking range in the kitchen. Handily, the property also has access through to the garages which could serve a variety of uses including gym, workshop etc.

In addition to the two properties, the garages and gardens, there are a number of other outbuildings, principle among these being a custom-built 46m2 caravan store.
