The sale of The Holt offers a rare opportunity to acquire a highly individual property which provides well proportioned accommodation including five bedrooms all of which have private en suite bathrooms. The principal is complemented by a significant range of outbuildings including a triple garage with a workshop and summer house and substantial first floor studio ideal for use as ancillary accommodation if required. However, the outstanding feature of The Holt are the spectacular and extensively stocked private landscaped gardens incorporating a two tier pond, rose garden and a wealth of mature trees and specimen shrubs.

Briestfield is a charming village to the east of Wakefield and the property enjoys a delightful scenic position surrounded by glorious un-spoilt countryside with numerous scenic walks.
