Hopton Bank, Hopton Wafers, DY14

Occupying a wonderful rural setting surrounded by beautifully established gardens and grounds, Holly Lodge is an impressive, detached country home offering substantial and highly versatile accommodation. Combining character features with thoughtfully updated interiors, the property enjoys an excellent balance of formal and informal living space, together with far-reaching countryside views, extensive parking, a double garage and approximately 1.46 acres of landscaped grounds.

The property is approached via a generous driveway providing parking for several vehicles and access to the double garage, complete with EV charging point. Internally, the welcoming reception hall immediately sets the tone for the house, featuring a striking double-height ceiling, exposed stone fireplace with wood-burning stove and an impressive staircase rising to the galleried landing above.

The ground floor accommodation is exceptionally flexible and well suited to modern family living. A spacious dining/living room provides an attractive everyday reception space, centred around a substantial fireplace with inset stove and enjoying direct access onto the gardens. The farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed with handcrafted cabinetry, extensive work surfaces, Aga, integrated appliances and ample space for informal dining, while enjoying lovely views across the surrounding gardens.

Additional ground floor accommodation includes a versatile study/fourth bedroom served by a contemporary shower room, refurbished earlier this year. The pantry and separate WC are positioned off the kitchen, together with a useful utility area.

On the lower ground floor, the garden room provides highly flexible accommodation and could equally serve as a fifth bedroom suite, benefiting from its own en suite shower room and direct access onto the terrace and gardens, making it ideal for guests, multi-generational living or home working.

The first floor continues to impress, with a superb galleried landing overlooking the reception hall below. The principal bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes together with a well-appointed en suite bathroom complete with bath, separate shower, WC, bidet and wash basin. Two further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, while the magnificent first floor lounge enjoys a vaulted ceiling, excellent natural light and direct access onto the balcony terrace positioned above the double garage, perfectly placed to take advantage of the far-reaching views.

Externally, the property sits within approximately 1.46 acres of beautifully established gardens and grounds, providing an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquillity. Carefully landscaped over time, the grounds feature sweeping lawns, mature trees, colourful borders, established hedging and a variety of useful outbuildings. A series of terraces and seating areas have been thoughtfully positioned to enjoy the surrounding countryside and create a wonderful connection between the house and garden. A mixture of French windows and sliding doors open directly onto the outdoor spaces, allowing for effortless indoor-outdoor living throughout the seasons.
