Hollyhocks

A Tudor timber-framed building positioned in a pretty medieval market town encompassed by flowing rivers, Hollyhocks is an idyllic rural retreat accommodating six. There are three bedrooms at the property; one double bedroom on the ground floor and one double and one twin bedroom on the first floor. Also on the first floor is the bright family bathroom with cast iron rolltop bath, while the ground floor has a shower room with WC. The vintage, industrial-style kitchen and great hall with open fire sit beneath an A-framed roof flaunting exposed wooden beams, while underfoot a parquet floor (laid by the Twinings Tea family in the 20s) remains sensitive to the property’s history. There is also a snug off the main living space which leads out to the manicured gardens.

Outside, there is parking for three cars, a raised lawn and to the rear of the property, a covered outdoor kitchen alongside a William Holland spa bath awaits. Across the road from Hollyhocks, a spot along the river Arrow serves as extended garden space. There is also a partly restored barn within the grounds, which, if renovated, has the potential to offer additional opportunities. Hollyhocks and neighbouring property Atelier Rose rent well as separate homes, but for larger groups, they are currently marketed together under The Sculptor’s Gardens. This combined offering has secured a further eight bookings in 2022, totalling £45k in addition to the independent revenues for each property. Whilst the properties can be purchased individually, the owner is offering both properties to include all furnishings for £1,900,000 if sold to the same buyer.
