Colwall also has excellent rail links to Birmingham New Street and to London Paddington. The cathedral cities of Hereford (20 miles), Worcester (11 miles) and Gloucester (21 miles) and the town of Cheltenham (26 miles), are all within easy commuting distance. The nearby market town of Ledbury offers a wonderful range of independent shops, primary and secondary schooling, community hospital, leisure facilities and supermarkets.

Holmleigh is a substantial family home. The glazed entrance porch has a paved floor and shelving to house plants. The property has a wealth of period features including deep skirting boards, picture rails, coving and bakelite handles to the doors. Holmleigh also has wonderful ceiling height. The drawing room is delightful and wonderfully light and bright. The fireplaces are very individual within the property and here, the fire surround has a floral and garland design with pillars to the edges. Pot bellied cast iron radiators lie beneath the windows. The family room, to the other side of the hall, has a lovely square bay window and doors leading out to the garden. The open fire has an Art Nouveau brass hood and deep blue decorative floral tiling. The dining room adjacent also has doors leading out to the garden and a serving hatch to the kitchen. Here, the fireplace has a cast iron inset with red tiles in a floral design. The kitchen / breakfast room has an array of units in white, a stainless steel gas hob and electric double oven, integral dishwasher and space for a fridge freezer. There is also ample space for a table and chairs. The utility room adjacent has space for further white goods and the connecting wall between the two rooms could, subject to the relevant permissions, be removed, thereby creating a larger contemporary open plan kitchen / breakfast room, if desired. The utility room has a door leading out to the garden at the side, which in turn leads to a log store. From the main entrance hall, stairs lead up to a split level landing where doors lead off to four double bedrooms, all of which have fireplaces. The master bedroom benefits from having a separate dressing room and an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower over. Adjacent to the master suite, there is a storage room with access to the boarded attic. This space could also be incorporated into the dressing room, if desired. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over and storage cupboards run along the length of one of the walls into the eaves. The property offers scope for those wishing to create their own stamp of individuality.

Holmleigh is approached via a sweeping gravelled driveway which has ample parking. The gardens are bounded by a mixture of mature hedging. The side garden has a diamond flower bed that has cream Peace roses and lavender. To the main garden, flower beds are dotted here and there and contain a multitude of mature planting including rhododendrons, buddleia in a deep purple, and montbretias in a vibrant orange. Mature trees include lime and fir. There are also apple, plum and cherry trees and a fruit cage houses raspberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants. A wood framed garage lies tucked away and makes an ideal area for storing garden equipment. Attached to the property at the rear is the workshop and separate garage.
