**holme lane farm**Holme sweet holmeAt Holme Lane Farm you’ll find a magnificent property standing before you, holding a 220-year history, which has been given a whole new lease of life.The current owners have overseen quite a passion project carrying out major renovations to create an incredible family home. This has literally been years in the making and has involved meticulously keeping the heritage at the heart of the design.This completely unique and whimsical farmhouse is a tale of two halves comprising not just one home but two – the original five-bedroom farmhouse and a three bedroom-annexe barn conversion. Alongside the luxury living areas, you’ll also have an expansive stable block, outbuildings complete with planning permission and almost 10 acres of outdoor space to enjoy.Nestled within the rural hamlet of Holme, families seeking a private retreat, an abundance of character and period features need look no further.A spectacular welcomeThe entrance to the property is situated beyond an attractive walled boundary and through the electric gates you’ll arrive onto the sweeping courtyard which has ample parking for up to half a dozen vehicles.Surrounding you are the three beautiful limestone buildings that make up the entirety of the residence. To your left are the original barns, straight ahead is the main house and to the right stands the annexe – each oozing in kerb appeal with their own individual quirks.Whilst retaining the original character has been front of mind during each renovation stage, the property benefits from brand new fixtures for practicality including UPVC Georgian style windows, full CCTV system and thermal solar & pv system to truly futureproof the house for years to come.As you enter via the double doorway on the patio, a characterful welcome awaits as you step into a grand and spacious reception room – a part of the house which was rebuilt onto the original foundations to keep the same footprint. This space is perfect for welcoming guests and equally handy for socialising.Farmhouse charmBeyond the hallway and central staircase, you’ll find the picture-perfect farmhouse kitchen.Solid oak units painted in sage green and cream are topped with granite worktops which complement the terracotta floor tiles and classic wooden beam running through the centre of the ceiling. Food preparation is a dream thanks to the luxury of a programmable aga taking centre stage in the hearth.Storage space is also aplenty in here with a walk-in pantry and utility room tucked behind internal doors.Dresser-style wall units add to the charming aesthetic and of course no farmhouse kitchen would be complete without a Belfast sink. With a central island and butcher’s block to perch around, as well as space for a breakfast table, this is the perfect place for the family to gather over a morning coffee.Eccentric eleganceContinuing with tradition yet with added drama is the stunning formal dining room next door.A real showstopper which is guaranteed to wow – from the striking ceiling beams to the rustic original doors and weathered floorboards underfoot.The wood-burning stove comes into its own in winter and especially at Christmas when spirits are high and hosting is made easy with ample space for an oversized table.Despite the dark features, dual-aspect windows allow the right amount of light in to create the perfect ambience.From here, you can also take the original cottage stairs up to the first floor which were retained for extra character and interest.Cosy up side by sideOn the opposite side of the staircase on the ground floor are the adjoining reception rooms which share a central log burner that heats two rooms in one.The larger half is the lounge – a traditional family sitting room complete with high ceilings and picture rail detail. Next door is the snug which is a minimalistic and peaceful hideaway – perfect to read a book or enjoy an evening nightcap.Both have soft carpet underfoot and enjoy views out to the stunning garden.Room with A viewCompleting the ground floor of the main house is the magnificent garden room with its impressive apex roof and skylights.
