One of Chilworth's finest houses! Holly Lodge is an individual detached property of great stature meticulously designed and built by the current owners to an exacting specification for which they must take great credit. Virtually every room was designed and handmade by Romsey Cabinetmakers.

  • The property is constructed of brick elevations under a clay tiled roof with tile hung upper elevations complemented by an impressive herring-bone patterned brick gable and double glazed leaded light windows in powder coated steel frames set in oak surrounds.
  • An outstanding feature of the property are the extensive grounds which are just over 4 acres in size and have a south westerly facing aspect to the rear backing onto woodland. This sizeable plot is one of the largest to come onto the market in recent years in this sought after residential area and allows space for the provision of recreational facilities such as a swimming pool and tennis court or the extension of the existing accommodation in a variety of ways (subject to all necessary consents).
  • Further features include a gas fired heating system, a security system, mains linked fire alarm, CCTV security cameras, an integral triple garage with useful workshop areas, oak skirtings, architraves, staircases and doors throughout, a secure safe within the premises, a sprinkler system to the front and rear gardens and off road parking/turning for numerous vehicles. The kitchen was handmade and installed by Romsey Cabinetmakers and opens onto the breakfast/family area which in turn leads through to the sun lounge. There are two generous sized reception rooms, a 13' x 13' study, two cloakrooms and a side lobby/utility area.
  • At first floor level there is the master bedroom with stunning views over the grounds to the rear and a superb ensuite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms (one could be sub-divided to two separate rooms) and the dressing room which is next to the family bathroom could be adapted to provide an additional bedroom. There is a large walk-in store room adjacent to the sizeable bedroom 3 which could provide an additional ensuite facility. The second staircase creates flexibility to the first floor accommodation for use by a long term guest or two family lifestyle.
