Five-bedroom period home with large garden and parking in picturesque Holme village.
Grade II listed cottage with strong period features and long-distance views
A substantial five-bedroom Grade II listed cottage set in the heart of Holme village, offering generous, characterful living space and long-distance moorland views. Period features are abundant — exposed beams, stone walls, oak doors, shutters and flagstone floors — paired with practical updates such as double glazing and a biomass boiler that provides renewable heating.
The house sits on a large plot with a good-sized, well-bounded garden, useful outbuildings (one a utility, one housing the wood-pellet boiler), and off-street parking for three vehicles — rare for the village. The flexible ground floor layout includes a welcoming entrance hall, lounge with wood-burning stove, dining/playroom and a large dining kitchen that will suit family life and entertaining.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and require consent. There is only one family bathroom for five bedrooms. The walls are original sandstone/limestone and assumed uninsulated, which contributes to an EPC rating of D — further insulation or sympathetic upgrades may be needed and will be constrained by listed status. The heating system runs on bulk wood pellets (biomass boiler), which is renewable but requires fuel storage and servicing.
This cottage will appeal to families seeking village life, space and strong period character, and to buyers who appreciate historic homes and are prepared for conservation-led maintenance. It offers immediate charm and comfortable living now, with potential to improve energy performance and adapt internal spaces where permitted by listing regulations.
