Description

Detached 4/6 bedroom property situated in an elevated position with scenic countryside views and a two bedroom annexe.

Dwelling - Highlands is a beautifully improved detached period home with an adjoining annexe, set within expansive gardens that back onto open fields, offering stunning long-range views in a picturesque rural setting.

Believed to date back 200–300 years, this historic property—once a public house until its closure in 1956—has been significantly modernised, extended, and thoughtfully restored under its current ownership since 2022. The result is a charming character residence that seamlessly blends original features with high-quality, contemporary amenities, including a self-contained annexe.

Internal - The property is finished to a high standard throughout, featuring electric heating, uPVC windows and doors, Velux roof windows, and a well-appointed country-style kitchen. This includes solid oak worktops and a central island, a Zanussi electric double oven, induction hob with built-in extractor, integrated dishwasher, and space with plumbing for an American-style fridge. The utility room is fitted with matching units, while the bathrooms and shower rooms are attractively styled—most notably the family bathroom, which includes a roll-top bath and separate shower. Oak flooring runs through much of the ground floor, with fitted carpets upstairs and oak-veneered internal doors throughout.

A wealth of original character has been retained, including window seats, exposed elements of a former circular secondary staircase, Blue Lias flagstone flooring, and multiple fireplaces—among them a brick inglenook with wood burner, a second wood-burning fireplace, and another in the fourth bedroom, which also features a vaulted oak-framed ceiling.

The annexe is equally well presented, with a sleek contemporary kitchen incorporating an electric oven and induction hob, a modern shower room, and quality floor finishes.

The accommodation overall is extensive and flexible, suitable either as one large residence or as a main house with an adjoining annexe. This makes it ideal for a range of uses such as multi-generational living, holiday letting, or accommodation for a dependent relative.

In brief, the main house includes an entrance porch, reception hall, snug with French doors, spacious living room with a hidden bookcase door leading to the annexe, a generous kitchen/dining room, utility with external door and proposed stairs, inner hall, fourth bedroom or additional reception room with its own external door, cloakroom and separate shower room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite has doors to a balcony with external stairs, a walk-in wardrobe, and en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate shower.

The annexe offers a private hall, open-plan living room and kitchen with French doors, two bedrooms, a shower room, and a veranda.

External - In total, the plot extends to approximately one-fifth of an acre, adjoining open fields and enjoying wonderful long-range views across the surrounding countryside.

Extensive landscaping works have been carried out, including the construction of a new garage, the creation of additional parking, and the formation of attractive, well-designed gardens.

A gravel driveway leads to the detached garage, which includes an adjoining lean-to store. The front gardens are attractively arranged with terracing, retaining walls, sleeper steps, and well-maintained lawns. To the rear, there is a secondary concrete driveway, further lawned garden, and a paved terrace—perfect for outdoor entertaining and taking in the peaceful rural setting.
