Highfield House is a substantial, period residence with impressive views over open countryside, extending to approximately 4500 square feet over three storeys. The property has never been sold on the open market and has only had three owner occupiers since it was built in 1899 by Colonel Maurice Hunter. While the property requires refurbishment, it offers excellent potential for a range of buyers, including those seeking a large family home, conversion to apartments, or care home use. The property features a grand entrance hall with mahogany panelled ceiling and ornate staircase, as well as a bright, triple-aspect dining room and reception room with decorative cornicing and ceiling rose. The breakfast room is fitted with a full wall of shelving and enjoys a triangular bay window, while the sitting room has far-reaching views over the valley and a central fireplace with timber surround and mantel. The kitchen is equipped with a range of base and wall units and enjoys plumbing for additional appliances. The property also features a pantry, scullery, and ground floor WC, as well as a balcony off the first floor landing. The second floor has potential for further bedrooms, and the detached annexe offers a single bedroom, kitchen, lounge, and bathroom. The garden enjoys a west-facing aspect and is predominantly laid to lawn with mature hedging, and a flagstone veranda provides an ideal seating area with unobstructed countryside views.
