Tucked in a pretty spot in the village of Holloway, this beautiful stone home is truly superb throughout. With elegant decor and furnishings, original tiled floors and fireplaces, and loads of space to socialise, it’ll be hard to tear yourself away. Downstairs you’ll find a fabulous conservatory and also a separate games room with a pool table - a great opportunity to get competitive and have group tournaments in the evening.

Upstairs are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Outside is a delightful, secluded garden with lawn space, patio area, pond and lots of shrubbery bringing in a mix of wildlife. Groups who love to explore the great outdoors will find this home well-situated to do just that. Holloway is a lovely village with a coffee shop and a couple of stores, surrounded by walking and cycling routes.
