About this property
Tucked away at the end of a small private cul-de-sac in the heart of Newton, Hollybush House is an exceptional detached family home offering beautifully balanced accommodation, remarkable versatility and a wonderful sense of privacy, all set within generous mature grounds.The PropertyHollybush House is a rare example of a modern luxury family home that manages to feel both substantial and wonderfully welcoming. Occupying a generous plot at the end of an exclusive cul-de-sac of just four homes, the property extends to approximately 3,863sqft of beautifully maintained accommodation, excluding the garage, and has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners during their seventeen-year ownership.
The house is approached through attractive front gardens with a broad driveway and an immediately impressive frontage. Internally, the proportions throughout are excellent, with bright, flowing spaces designed around modern family life.
The reception hall forms an inviting centrepiece to the ground floor and leads through to a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and garden room across the rear of the house. This is unquestionably the heart of the home; a remarkable living space flooded with natural light beneath vaulted ceilings with exposed timber detailing and extensive glazing overlooking the garden. The kitchen itself is both stylish and practical, centred around a large island and flowing naturally into generous dining and seating areas, creating a sociable environment equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining on a larger scale.
The principal lounge is another elegant room of excellent proportions, whilst a further reception room provides valuable flexibility as a snug, playroom, study or formal sitting room. A spacious utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues with five genuine double bedrooms arranged around a generous landing. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, offering a luxurious and peaceful retreat, whilst the remaining bedrooms are all beautifully presented and served by three well-appointed bathrooms in total.
One of the property’s most valuable additions is the detached double garage building, above which sits a superb self-contained studio apartment. Currently utilised as a successful Airbnb space, it offers excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, independent working or an additional income stream.
The gardens are another standout feature of Hollybush House. Mature, private and beautifully established, they provide a wonderful backdrop to family life, with expansive lawns, sun terraces and excellent entertaining space. The detached garden room/gym further enhances the lifestyle appeal of the property and creates an ideal wellness, office or recreational space away from the main house.
Altogether, Hollybush House is an exceptionally complete home - substantial without feeling overwhelming, luxurious without pretension, and ideally designed for modern family living.
