Castle Hill, Main Road, Holmesfield, Dronfield S18


Description
A unique opportunity has arisen to acquire this outstanding five bedroomed detached residence, which is Grade II* listed and stands within a plot of approximately 15 acres. Having a wealth of character features and the benefit of a three bedroomed detached cottage, Holmesfield Hall offers substantial accommodation that enjoys an idyllic countryside setting and far-reaching views.

Holmesfield Hall was originally constructed in the early 1600s with the Georgian facade and coat of arms above the formal entrance door, added in the mid-18th century. The property retains many historical features such as oak panelling, stone mullioned windows and an over mantel in the formal dining room that has detailed carvings, one of which is believed to depict King Charles I.

The heart of the home is the impressive breakfast kitchen that is filled with natural light through the glazed apex ceiling and has the unique feature of a well, which has been cleverly utilised as a kitchen island with a glass and granite surface. There is also a generous drawing room with a gritstone fireplace, a large sitting room with a dining area, downstairs shower room and a fabulous formal dining room. On the first floor are five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The family bathroom provides access through what is thought to be a historic priest hole to a playroom in the attic.

The grounds of Holmesfield Hall provide wonderful surroundings to the home and consist of a manicured, formal front garden, wrap-around gardens to the rear and an extensive seating terrace. The property is also ideal for equestrian usage due to approximately 13 acres of the plot being grazing land, which can be accessed from the house and Hob Lane.

This magnificent residence offers additional accommodation within Holmesfield Hall Cottage and is ideal for relative or dependent persons. The cottage has been recently renovated and has its own garden and parking area.

The property is situated with good access to the amenities of Holmesfield and Dronfield, which include supermarkets, shops, public houses, restaurants and good local schooling. Due to the property’s rural location, there are beautiful walks available from the doorstep, and the Peak District National Park is accessible within a short drive. For rail journeys, the Dronfield train station is located a short distance away and provides links to Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds and London.
