Holly House EPC

"An appealing stone-built detached house with elegant interiors and uninterrupted Tyne Valley views "

The Property
Tucked away on the western fringe of Riding Mill, Holly House is a handsome and well-maintained stone-built property offering exceptional privacy, landscaped gardens and panoramic countryside views. Set within a small and exclusive development, it occupies an elevated position that takes full advantage of its peaceful outlook across open pasture and the tree-lined valley. The interiors have been thoughtfully upgraded and revamped in recent years, with a layout designed to suit both everyday living and entertaining.

The entrance hall is a bright and spacious introduction to the property, with Karndean designer flooring providing a stylish and hardwearing finish that continues through the hallway. A striking staircase draws the eye upwards, with natural light streaming in from both the front and rear elevations. To the front of the house, the sitting room is a generous and inviting space, centred around a feature fireplace and framed by a large window that overlooks the front. On the opposite side of the hallway, a separate office creates a quiet and practical workspace.

The kitchen, dining and family area stretches across the back of the house, with generous proportions and clear definition between spaces. Bespoke cabinetry by Alexander Carrick is complemented by marble worktops and a traditional Stove cooker. There is ample room for family dining or informal gathering. French doors lead into an adjoining conservatory provides a peaceful vantage point from which to enjoy the ever-changing landscape. A utility room is accessed directly from the kitchen, providing additional workspace and storage, with a door through to the integral double garage for everyday convenience. A guest WC is positioned separately off the main hallway.

The first floor offers four bedrooms arranged around a central landing, all with open outlooks and generous proportions. The principal bedroom includes a private en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. The layout provides flexibility for family living or visiting guests, with a strong sense of balance and privacy throughout.

Externally
Stone-built and full of character, the property is set behind a low walled frontage with a block-paved driveway providing access to a double garage. A gated pathway leads to the rear, where the landscaping opens up to embrace the panoramic countryside setting.

The garden is terraced to make the most of the views, with well-stocked beds, mature specimen trees and thoughtfully placed seating areas. A wide stone-flagged terrace offers an ideal spot for outdoor dining, positioned to overlook pastureland and woodland rolling away into the distance. Timber fencing frames the views without intrusion, and a traditional-style summerhouse provides a sheltered retreat within the garden.

The backdrop is alive with seasonal colour and rural activity, with grazing livestock and layers of natural planting offering an ever-changing outlook.
