Space in abundance, a bountiful garden and glorious
Built in 1875 as a mill house, Holm Hill is a
one-off detached property that in the past
has been home to a bank manager and a sea
captain, while the side wing, which has seen
previous use as a shop and a workshop
and offers a myriad of other possibilities,
is currently a sizable 16ft boot room.
It’s also a house that gives little away from the outsidewith regards to some of its key features – most notablya large and beautifully landscaped rear garden and themost incredible completely unobstructed views of theCheviot Hills.
When present owners George and Sue Brown viewedthe property nine years ago they were instantlycaptivated. “We knew within thirty seconds that wehad to have it,” says Sue. “In particular, I loved thelightness of the hallway – and while the view istruly spectacular, it’s always different.”
In the interim, the Browns have considerably upgradedand enhanced the interior of their spacious threebedroomed home.
