A superb opportunity to acquire a stunning four bedroom family home in this highly sought after Grade II listed development. Holme Park is set amidst extensive 10.5 acre grounds in a tranquil location, with wonderful panoramic views. The earliest known reference to a house at Hill Top dates back to 1663, but it is likely to have earlier origins. The present house largely dates from the second half of the 18th century with later additions. Over the years the house passed through the hands of a number of families, in 1864 becoming part of the Underley Estate owned by the Earl of Bective and was later lived in by Lady Henry Cavendish Bentinck. In its latter years the walls of Holme Park echoed to the sound of footsteps of several generations of children in its role as a preparatory school. The former mansion is approached by a long tree lined drive and as you come over the crest of the hill the north elevation of the building with its blend of architectural styles comes into view. To the west of the estate the wooded slopes rise steeply to the top of Monument Hill. In the immediate vicinity there is a network of minor country lanes and footpaths, ideal for gentle walking. Many original features have been uncovered and restored in more recent years such as the old range in the kitchen which has been retained as a feature, and while the servants may have long since gone, the servants’ bells are still in place as a reminder of times past. Now it has been converted back into a fine country residence, a place where a new generation can share in the pleasure of living amidst the grandeur of Holme Park
