Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire are excited to present to the market this stunning country home. Situated in approx. 11.5 acres of superbly landscaped gardens and parkland, this Georgian Revival, 5 bedroom, detached home typifies country living. The principle drawing room, sitting room and garden room enjoy views over the western gardens and an outstanding main kitchen forms an excellent relaxed entertaining space. The 5 generous double bedrooms are served by 3 bathrooms. In addition to the separate home office there are 2 stables together with associated tack room, workshops and all weather tennis court. A stunning avenue of cherry trees leads to wooded glades stocked with ornamental and native trees. Ash Holt is a well balanced home of understated elegance - a quintessential country residence.

Situated within approximately 11.5 acres of stunning, landscaped formal gardens, paddock and parkland, Ash Holt typifies rural living. The understated elegance of the colour washed façade of this Georgian revival five bedroom detached residence conceals a beautifully proportioned home defined by light and superbly suited to convivial entertaining.Balance is evident throughout – the 23’4 formal drawing room and the dining room with its full width bay opening to the terrace are countered by the more intimate sitting room and the stunning triple aspect garden room which in turn opens to the outstanding kitchen with an extensive range of appliances.

The formal elegance of the principal reception rooms is balanced by the second kitchen, utility, study and drying room which cater for the practicalities of family living.To the first floor there are five generous, double bedrooms – two of which benefit from en-suite facilities – together with a fully tiled family bathroom and additional loft room.

A discreetly situated second access opens to a broad courtyard which contains not only the two stables, tack room, garages and workshops but also a detached 28’ home office which could become further independent accommodation of required (subject to the necessary permissions).It is however, the grounds which distinguish Ash Holt: the formal gardens lead to a timber pavilion which overlooks both the all weather tennis court and the parkland beyond and a magnificent avenue of thirty flowering Cherry trees leads to a clearing encompassed by a crescent of Silver Birches which form an ideal setting for a marquee. A series of grassed pathways lead through wooded glades resplendent with ornamental and native trees.Perfectly balancing home and grounds Ash Holt is a quintessential country residence: perfection.

VENDOR INTERVIEW
This elegant six-bedroom country residence, which is located on the edge of the quiet rural village of Brigsley, is set in substantial grounds comprising of beautiful and meticulously maintained gardens and parkland.The present owner has lived here for five years: \"I had been searching for more than a year when I came across Ash Holt. I was attracted by the quintessential English-style of the house and its superbly manicured gardens. The house has well-proportioned rooms and everything is finished to a superb standard. It's a very relaxing place in which to live: in the summer, I enjoy the garden room, which faces south and provides lovely views over the garden, while in the winter I particularly like being in the living room, which also overlooks the garden but has a cosy fireplace as well.\"A south-facing terrace, which runs across the full width of the house, can be accessed via French doors from both the living room and the formal dining room; there is also a delightful south-facing drawing room. Steps lead down from the terrace to a formal lawn, which has borders planted to provide colour throughout the year. The juxtaposition of the reception rooms, the terrace and the formal garden make the house ideal for entertaining, as the current owner tells: \"In the past, I gather, the terrace and steps have been tented over to make a covered way from the dining room to a marquee erected on the lawn; a firework display was staged in another part of the garden where there's a lawn encircled by ash trees - a splendid avenue of flowering white cherry trees connects the two areas.\" At the southern end of the formal garden, a path leads past a parterre planted with flowers, fruit bushes and fruit trees, to a large pavilion, which provides further entertaining space. Beyond the ash glade at the far end of the grounds, a large area of maturing woodland includes a variety of trees planted for both spring blossom and autumn colour; meandering paths lead through the woodland to open areas with swathes of daffodils. The surrounding parkland, which has wide shelter belts of trees to the boundaries, can be used as formal lawn or as grazing paddocks. The grounds also include two greenhouses, a fully heated orchid house and a tennis court. At the front of the house, there is a detached home office or annexe with a kitchenette, while a further detached building includes garages, a workshop, a garden store and a tack room. The property makes a superb retreat, yet is situated within easy reach of local amenities, such as the Hall Farm Hotel and Restaurant in Ashby cum Fenby, shops and schools in Waltham, and supermarkets at Laceby and Hewitts Circus Retail Park. The M180 is also readily accessible and Grimsby offers train services to London via Doncaster. The present owner adds: \"Ash Holt is an exceptional property, and I will miss the calm, warm atmosphere of the house and, of course, the unique qualities of the gardens.\"
