The property Holly Rise represents a most spacious and stylish village house, build originally by Potton Homes and this being the largest style in their renowned collection. The house offers great living space with versatility to use the reception rooms to suit the modern day family. The hub of the house is undoubtedly the fabulous kitchen/ breakfast room with the bright and airy adjoining morning room, which enjoys views over the sunny rear garden and lies very centrally to the remainder of the downstairs living space. The current arrangement of the reception rooms make for an easy, free flowing family living environment and this is often a feature of a Potton home. There are a number of open fireplaces and a log burner, which create a real focal point to the rooms. On the first floor, 6 bedrooms and a family bath/shower room can be found. The master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling giving the room a real sense of space. The bedroom also features a modern en suite bathroom, whilst the remainder of the bedrooms benefit from one large bath and shower room. The house is approached over a large paved driveway, which provides extensive parking facilities and leads to a detached garage. The rear gardens are a particular feature and boast a sunny south westerly aspect. Running across the rear of the house is an extensive paved terrace, perfect for entertaining family and friends and particularly good in summer as it has a built in BBQ. Lawned gardens extend away from the terrace and up to the enclosed tennis court and to the log cabin/home office at the top of the garden. The gardens are flanked by well stocked flower and shrub borders which give the garden great privacy and seclusion. At the top of the garden is a purpose built log cabin, which is currently utilised as a sophisticated home office as it features high speed broadband and internet connections.
