Description:

Holmes House is a deceptively substantial home in a private, secluded compound, elegantly perched on gently sloping cliffs enjoying summer sunsets with unobstructed views across Colwell Bay, the Solent and 3 South Coast counties with an exceptionally wide (154m) clifftop frontage. With a dining room seated capacity of 36 and enormous parties on the sweeping lawns, directly overlooking the Solent, the property can simultaneously accommodate multiple guests and their families, making it the ultimate entertainment home with a perfect blend of coastal and country life and experiential living. This substantial beachside home has high quality equine facilities and boat/windsurfing storage. The principal rooms are of large proportion with high ceilings and original herringbone parquet floors and generous windows taking full advantage of the unique setting. Ground floor rooms include a foyer leading to a drawing room with open fireplace and dining/ball room with views to the west and a full bar and barroom with an enclosed veranda, built-in window seats and a wood burner. There is a media/playroom and a cosy formal library/study. The farmhouse style kitchen with Aga, large pantry and larder leads to a south-east facing deck and a utility/boot room. The extra wide staircase is a character feature, leading to a first floor with 7 bedrooms (5 en suite), 2 with working open fireplaces. There is a spacious first floor landing leading to the main bedrooms, most of which deliver the very finest sea views. A private rear entrance and staircase leads to the second floor with 3 further bedrooms and a full bathroom for a live-in Nanny or additional guests with views of Tennyson Down. All second-floor bedrooms feature a wash hand basin. There are extensive eaves and attic storage. The property has level grounds with well-manicured lawns and Holmes Oak trees. There is a cantilevered entertaining deck extending 50% over the cliff edge. There are paddocks on. Still available at ListedBuy!
