Large Level Garden -

Built in the mid 1960’s the subject of an agricultural tie the property is now free of this as a certificate of lawfulness has recently been granted.

Traditionally built in block cavity under a tiled roof the property is now needing updating and renovation and given its stunning site is likely to be extended and possible redeveloped as a house, subject to planning, to make a splendid reverse level accommodation property to take advantage of the outstanding, near panoramic views.

Currently Highfield is about 120 sq meters, internally, including the garaging so a great basis to work from.

There is no central heating, a Rayburn Royal oil fired stove in the kitchen originally heated the airing cupboard and an expansion radiator in Bedroom 1, until recently but is now defunct. There is an open fire in the sitting room.

Externally a large level garden of about a quarter of an acre. Raised timber decking overlooking the view.
