Hollybank, Orchard Rise

About this property

Hollybank occupies a generous corner plot on Orchard Rise, screened by the mature holly, conifer and flowering shrubs that give the house its name and a good degree of privacy. Built in the 1970s of buff brick with a tile-hung upper elevation and large picture windows, the house has been freshly modernised by the current owners, with an integral garage and driveway parking for two cars.

The ground floor has been opened into a generous flowing space in soft whites and olive over pale oak floors: a sitting room with a broad picture window to the garden connects through to an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room fitted in light grey shaker cabinetry with a breakfast peninsula and French doors to the rear. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms, the principal with an en suite shower room, served by a refitted family bathroom.

Outside, the gardens are a real strength - level lawns to the front and rear framed by the established planting of the corner plot. Norden Heath's parade of shops, the primary school and regular buses into Wexbridge are all within a few minutes' walk. A sale was agreed within a fortnight of launch; similar houses are always sought and we welcome enquiries from owners considering a move.
