A HOME WITH ELEGANCE, CHARM AND VERSTILITY

A truly impressive, double fronted Edwardian home, The Hollies sits proudly on a generous corner plot, set back and slightly elevated behind double timber gates and framed by mature Holly hedging and established Yew trees, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and arrival.
This striking home has been beautifully and sympathetically restored, seamlessly blending period charm with modern day living. The current owners have thoughtfully enhanced the property, including the creation of a second floor, resulting in a spacious, light-filled and incredibly versatile family home.

Step inside and you are immediately welcomed by a charming vestibule leading through to a grand entrance hall, complete with original tiled flooring and elegant décor, setting the tone for what lies beyond. The home retains a wealth of original features including high ceilings with ornate cornicing, panelled doors, picture rails, Sash windows and characterful fireplaces – all adding to its undeniable charm.

The ground floor offers a superb mix of formal and sociable living. Three beautifully presented reception rooms, each with their own fireplace, provide flexible spaces for relaxing, entertaining or family life. The high ceilings enhance the sense of space and grandeur throughout.

At the heart of the home lies the stunning ‘Peter Thompson of York’ breakfast kitchen – a true WOW FACTOR space. Fitted with bespoke pippy oak cabinetry, granite worktops and a central island, this kitchen is both stylish and practical. A striking navy gas-fired Aga sits within a tiled chimney breast with oak mantel, complemented by an additional electric double oven and gas hob – perfect for keen cooks. There is ample space for dining, making this a super sociable hub of the home, with glazed panelled French doors opening effortlessly onto the Yorkshire stone terrace.
A useful utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

To the first floor, a sweeping staircase with shallow treads and elegant spindles rises past a Sash window, with a lovely half landing overlooking the garden. The principal bedroom is a generous and calming space, complete with an ornate fireplace. A further guest bedroom to the front also enjoys a period fireplace and benefits from a stylish ensuite, alongside a spacious third bedroom.
