The main home offers generous living space with five bedrooms, three reception rooms, and four bathrooms. Historic charm is evident in every detail, from centuries-old exposed beams, to stone walls that ensure warmth and stability year-round. The sitting room, with a carved wooden fireplace and rustic features, leads seamlessly into the dining room. Here, beams sourced from ancient ships and a real-flame gas fire set the tone for cosy gatherings. Practicality meets charm in the kitchen, where original flagstone floors and solid oak worktops offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The kitchen flows naturally to the family lounge, a spacious room enhanced by modern lighting, exposed beams, and views over the landscaped gardens.
Holme Fold Farm is ideal for multi-generational families or those seeking extra income. Alongside the main house, there’s a ONE BEDROOM studio annexe, a ONE BEDROOM cottage, and a TWO BEDROOM cottage- Each self-contained with its own bathroom, lounge, and kitchen.

A large field is suitable for equestrian use, providing enough space for two horses, while additional outbuildings include a barn for storage, and a shipping container that can serve as a secure lock-up.
