It's a beautiful home, suitable for a family or a couple looking for a house with plenty of living space and spare bedrooms for visitors.
Holloway is a historic village with John Smedley's mill reputedly being the longest-running operational factory in the world, since 1784. The village has a church, primary school, renowned local butcher's Robin Maycock and Chase cafe, popular with walkers and cyclists. Neighbouring village Lea has the wonderful Jug and Glass pub (venue for the Bricks + Mortar Christmas meal!) and famous Rhododendron Gardens and tea room. There are walking and cycling routes in all directions from the village.
Front of the home
This attractive semi-detached home occupies a corner plot in the heart of this sought-after village. The front garden is bordered by a tall dry stone wall. Five stone steps with a handrail on the right lead up to the path to the front door. To the left is a box hedge and flower bed, with a neat lawn on the right bordered by colourful flower beds. A timber fence forms the right-hand boundary, with a dry stone wall on the left. There is space for a bench at the top of the garden, from which you can revel in the panoramic views over the old mill opposite to verdant wooded hills in the distance. A gate to the left of the house leads to the rear garden and there is a wall-mounted light and canopy over the part-glazed uPVC front door.

Rear Garden
We adore this fantastic garden, which is set up - and suitable - for keen gardeners but is also attractive to those wanting an easy-maintenance garden.
Accessed via the side gate and from the conservatory, the side path has space for bins and a log store to be discreetly tucked away. Steps lead up past a colourful flower bed to the spacious dining patio, with plenty of room for outdoor dining, a chimnea and barbecue. There is space to the left for a large and small shed. The gently sloping path leading up to the top of the garden bisects two well-maintained lawns, which have distinctive photinia and 'pride of Rochester' plants on the left and white rhododendrons on the right.
At the top of the lawns, there is a greenhouse on the left and a summer house with veranda on the right - a perfect spot from which to look down over the garden and over rooftops to the woods beyond the village boundary. Double wooden gates at the top open to reveal an enchanting wild garden - it's a natural haven for plants and wildlife, with views over the dry stone wall to the open countryside beyond. A large plum tree takes pride of place in the centre of this cute separate garden, which was peaceful and filled with birdsong when we visited.
