IMPORTANT AND DISTINCTIVE EDWARDIAN HOME ON THE VILLAGE GREEN IN THE HEART OF HOLMBURY ST. MARY ................<br/><br/>The Old Bakery is a truly delightful family home of great style and character, dating from the early 20th century, and enjoying a wonderful sunny position in the heart of village, overlooking the green. As the name suggests, the property was one of the village’s bakeries and also served as a grocery store until the late 1980s. Our clients purchased the property in 1992 and undertook a comprehensive programme of renovation, to an exceptionally high standard, creating a perfect harmony of many of the period features with the modern enhancements needed for 21st century living. The versatile and well-proportioned accommodation, which extends to over 3700 SQ FT, comprises an impressive reception hall, with vaulted ceiling revealing the galleried landing above. Steps lead down from the reception hall to the two principle receptions rooms – both boasting a fine outlook over the village green. The kitchen/breakfast room has been fitted with a range of quality country style furniture incorporating an AGA, and complimented by oak-trimmed worksurfaces. From the kitchen there is access to the utility room and a sunny conservatory, which in turn leads to the study. To the first floor, there is access from the delightful landing to the main bedroom with an attractive balcony, dressing room and en-suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms served by two bathroom/shower rooms, one of which is en-suite. The property benefits from additional self-contained accommodation, which could be ideal for guests or family relatives, comprising a ground floor studio, first floor guest bedroom/home office with balcony, bathroom and a further sitting area. Outside, the property is approached by a driveway which extends to the garage and provides ample parking. The south-facing rear garden is elevated with established lawns and shrub borders and affording outstanding views over the heart of village, towards the parish church, with far-reaching views to Leith Hill and the surrounding countryside. At the top of the garden there is a private gate that gives access to The Hurtwood, providing hundreds of acres of wonderful countryside for walking and cycling.
