The property adjoins the former parkland of Catton Hall, landscaped by Humphry Repton and now known as Catton Country Park, with direct access from the garden into this much-loved green space.
Inside, the house is beautifully arranged over two floors. The ground floor includes a charming sitting room, a generous living/dining room open plan to the stylish fitted kitchen, and a utility area with shower room. Upstairs, approached via two separate staircases, are three well-proportioned bedrooms, a high-quality family bathroom, and an additional WC.
In the grounds stands a modern two-storey annex of excellent quality, featuring bi-fold doors, a wood burner, fitted kitchen and shower room on the ground floor, and a spacious double bedroom with large WC above - perfect for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or home office use.
Also within the grounds is a large cart lodge, providing covered parking in the form of a garage and carport, with an adjoining storage shed and further storage in the roof space accessed via an external staircase. An EV charging point is also installed here.
The property sits within 0.62 acres (sts) of well-tended gardens, with a generous driveway, sweeping lawns, and a secluded patio area ideal for entertaining.
Set in the heart of historic Old Catton, close to notable homes such as Anna Sewell's house (author of Black Beauty) and the picturesque Deer Park, Holiday House is a one-of-a-kind property, steeped in history and offering an enviable blend of character and modern convenience.
