THE HOLT - Warmingham

THE HOLT
The Holt is uniquely situated backing onto National Trust Lough Down with stunning panoramic
views of the surrounding Downlands and across the Thames Valley to the Chilterns. An imposing
individual detached village house in a superb hillside setting built around 1907 with later
additions, incorporating an appealing Edwardian architectural style with ‘Arts & Crafts’ influences
featuring oak flooring, original seasoned joinery including panelled doors with brass furniture,
period fireplaces and balustraded staircase with polished hardwood handrail. Room
arrangements are generous including an impressive grand reception hall and on the first floor
where a rear wing was added to the main house there is a large bedroom which opens directly
into the rear garden at the southern end. Generally the property would benefit from
modernisation and refurbishment with potential to further extend to suit a purchaser’s own
requirements and subject to any planning approval.
GARDENS
The property is situated well above Rectory Road being sited to take full advantage of its
outstanding location and the far reaching views. There is a high brick wall extending along the
frontage with a similar walled driveway leading up to the gravelled forecourt and parking area.
In front of the house is a croquet lawn with a neatly clipped Yew hedge along the front side
providing added seclusion.
To the rear is the main garden which gently slopes up to its boundary with Lough Down being a
protected hillside owned by the National Trust. Mainly lawned, the garden is interspersed with
mature trees, shrubs and a number of fruit trees notably apple and plum.
In all the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.51 Acres.
