A wonderfully presented Victorian Country Residence set in an idyllic rural location, with over 8 acres of grounds including manicured gardens, paddocks and woodland, a detached 2 bedroom annexe/holiday let, and a large agricultural barn perfect for storage.

Holmwood is a handsome Grade II listed property, originally dating back to around 1865, offering an extensive range of period features throughout, including lattice windows, fine fireplaces and original exposed timbers. The interior is truly exceptional and provides beautifully presented accommodation with a pleasing layout and wonderful views. A central reception provides a welcoming first impression from which the other principal rooms flow, hence the layout is ideal for both entertaining and families. Through on to the dining room, with original herringbone brick flooring and aspect out to the front garden. This links well to the kitchen/breakfast room with ample worktop and storage, 5 ring cooker and large pantry, with a further breakfast area. There is a superb drawing room with an impressive and wood burning stove. Double doors lead on to the terrace with immaculate and beautifully designed gardens. A sitting room leads off of the main drawing room, with additional downstairs cloakroom, and a perfect home/office area. On the first floor the landing gives access to a master bedroom with garden and paddock views. With a further 4 delightful bedrooms and large family bathroom.

Outside
The grounds of over 8 acres are a special feature of this property. A sweeping gravel
driveway leads around the house to a generous parking area and direct access to the
gardens. The gardens incorporate several seating areas with well stocked flower beds
containing an abundance of herbaceous perennials and shrubs. There are formal rose beds
off the terrace which lead through a gate to one of the two fully fenced paddocks. Off the
larger paddock which borders the woodland is a large stable block with 4 boxes and
additional workshop. Further to this is a large chicken coop area. The mixed woodland is a
haven for wildlife and bluebells in the Spring. There is a second vehicular access linking to a
large gravel yard which now provides access to the immaculate and newly built 2 bedroom
annexe, running as a successful holiday let, Holmwood Lodge. This annexe has a
completely separate spacious garden which also retains full privacy for the main house.
Further to this is a large steel barn ideal for storage for the likes of boats or classic cars.

Hitcham is a popular village with a shop and Parish Church surrounded by countryside providing some fine country walks. Neighbouring Bildeston has shops, a primary school, doctors’ surgery and popular pubs/restaurant. The well served village of Lavenham is about 6 miles. The A14 trunk road, providing access to the ports of Ipswich and Felixstowe and access to the Cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds, can be joined at Stowmarket 7 miles, the latter also providing a commuter rail link. For the daily commuter there are also mainline stations at Manningtree and Colchester.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
 
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.
 
Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • You get more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • Brokers can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • Are typically easier to get in contact with, less bureaucratic.

However with your bank maybe able to:

  • Build off existing relationship (discounts if you have a checking/saving account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Perhaps more trustworthy, more accountable than a smaller shop
  • Lower interest rates in some cases
  • Ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When it comes to making an offer on a property a bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
