Guide Price: £1,320,000

Hollygate Farmhouse The farmhouse is accessed from a private drive off Stragglethorpe Road, and has ample parking for multiple cars. There are period features throughout the house including large bay windows, fireplaces, and wooden beams. The farmhouse has previously functioned as multi-generational living and could be converted back to this with ease. The house benefits from a complete security system incorporating both cameras and sensor activated alarms.
The front door opens into an entrance hall with the main staircase straight ahead. Off the entrance hall is access into the cellar, two large reception rooms. Beyond this is a spacious hallway and useful understairs cupboard, with a further staircase to the first floor; downstairs washroom and farm office. The well-presented dining room adjoins the hallway and kitchen, and is centred around the feature fireplace with freestanding woodburning stove. The characterful kitchen includes an oil fired Aga and adjacent utility and pantry. Doors lead from the kitchen onto an east facing courtyard.
On the first floor is the spacious master bedroom &
ensuite, three double bedrooms and a generously
proportioned single bedroom/dressing room. There
are three additional family bathrooms and two large rooms fitted as kitchens from the previous use of the property as multi generational living. A large reception room which sits over the garages is currently used as seasonal Christmas gift shop, but could make a fantastic large bedroom or games room. The second floor is accessed via two separate staircases and has three well proportioned large double attic bedrooms.
Externally, lawns wrap around the front of the house, with beautiful mature trees and a small fruit tree orchard. A delightful traditional dairy building is detached from the main house and is currently used as a garage and storage, but would make a wonderful annexe or home office, subject to gaining planning consent.
