<p>A Rare and Remarkable Country Retreat</p><p><br/></p><p>Holmbury is a truly exceptional rural estate that exemplifies a seamless blend of old-world charm and forward-thinking design. From the moment you arrive, it is immediately clear that this is no ordinary property. </p><p><br/></p><p>The original farmhouse, with its traditional granite façade and characterful features, has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully extended to create a home that is as timeless as it is contemporary.</p><p><br/></p><p>Set within approximately 20 vergees (10 acres) of its own manicured land (including agricultural / equine / orchard), Holmbury offers an extraordinary level of privacy and tranquillity while remaining within easy reach of St Helier and all of the island’s amenities. A long, tree-lined gravel driveway leads to the house, where the grounds open up to reveal beautifully landscaped gardens, a heated swimming pool, and extensive parking, including garaging for up to six vehicles.</p><p><br/></p><p>Inside, the home has been entirely reimagined with a focus on luxurious modern living, family comfort, and sustainability. An impressive glass and granite extension forms a stunning link between the original house and a converted barn, creating a breathtaking entertaining space that floods with natural light and frames views across the gardens. Throughout the home, a variety of reception rooms provide elegant options for every mood and occasion, from cosy fireside lounges to sleek, modern living areas.</p><p><br/></p><p>At the heart of the house is a generous family kitchen, perfectly equipped for everyday use, alongside a fully-fitted chef’s kitchen designed for effortless entertaining. The accommodation extends to eight spacious bedrooms and an equal number of beautifully appointed bathrooms, making Holmbury ideal for large families and visiting guests alike. For those seeking further flexibility, a one-bedroom cottage is attached to the main house—ideal for staff, extended family, or independent visitors.</p><p><br/></p><p>No detail has been overlooked in the planning and renovation of this remarkable home. Designed to be energy efficient and future-proofed, Holmbury benefits from air source heat pumps and solar panels which together provide an almost unlimited supply of hot water and heating. These systems are managed through a Heatmiser-controlled building management system, neatly housed within a dedicated plant room. </p><p><br/></p><p>Technology plays a key role in the home’s design, with high-speed fibre broadband, Cat 6 cabling throughout, Cbus and Lutron lighting, Sonos sound in every room (and extending into the garden and pool area), and a fully integrated fire, intruder, and CCTV security system.</p><p>Holmbury is a rare find—a property that offers all the soul and beauty of a historic country home while providing every modern comfort and innovation imaginable. It is a sanctuary for those who appreciate style, substance, and sustainability, and a property that must truly be seen to be fully appreciated.</p><br/><p><strong>Bedroom 8</strong></p><p>Dimensions: 5.77m x 5.21m ( 18'11 x 17'1).</p><p><strong>Family Kitchen/Diner/Sitting room</strong></p><p>Dimensions: 9.27m x 5.28m ( 30'5 x 17'4).</p><p><strong>Bathroom</strong></p><p>Dimensions: 24.03m x 1.80m ( 78'10 x 5'11).</p><p><strong>Garaging</strong></p><p>Dimensions: 11.33m x 5.28m ( 37'2 x 17'4).
