The accommodation is exceptionally generous and thoughtfully arranged to maximise both privacy and social flow. The main residence features a welcoming porch and a central hallway that serves as the heart of the home, leading to a sprawling lounge with triple-aspect views, two bedrooms with bespoke fitted wardrobes, a modern family shower room, and a high-specification open-plan kitchen and dining area. This culinary hub opens into a bright conservatory, which in turn grants access to the wrap-around patio and a luxurious hot tub area. Connected via the kitchen-yet possessing its own private external entrance-is the self-contained annexe, comprising two further double bedrooms (one with a kitchenette) and a dedicated shower room. Externally, the property sits on an expansive plot that transitions from a Mediterranean-style wrap-around patio to a lush, tiered garden. The grounds are a horticulturalist's dream, featuring an 18-tree orchard, a nature pond, a summerhouse, a raised vegetable garden, and a secure chicken coop, all supported by a detached garage and two separate driveways providing parking for at least four vehicles.

Stepping through the front door, the practical porch offers a dedicated space to shed the day's adventures before entering the spacious welcome hallway. From here, the home unfolds into the magnificent lounge, where three large windows act as living canvases for the panoramic views outside. Underfoot, plush carpet provides a cosy touch, while the log-burning stove stands ready to anchor the room in warmth during the winter months. The kitchen and dining area is equally impressive, defined by sleek cream gloss cabinetry, wood-effect worksurfaces, and a central island that invites morning coffee and conversation. Integrated appliances and an induction hob cater to the modern chef, while the adjoining conservatory extends the entertaining space, blurring the line between the stylish interior and the picturesque rear garden.

The sleeping quarters in the main house are designed for rest and organisation. Bedroom One is a voluminous double, featuring full-width fitted wardrobes and a central sink, with a side window that captures a stunning framed view of the local landscape. Bedroom Two offers extensive storage and access to a large airing cupboard. These rooms are served by a contemporary shower room, where a walk-in shower and a vanity sink with an illuminating mirror provide a spa-like feel. The annexe offers a seamless extension; its primary bedroom is equipped with a stainless steel sink and storage, making it a perfect kitchenette for guests or a long-term relative, while the dual-aspect windows fill the space with natural light.

The outdoor spaces at Highlea are designed for both production and relaxation. The wrap-around patio is an entertainer's dream, featuring a stone-walled boundary and a hot tub nestled under a gazebo-the ultimate spot to watch the sun dip below the horizon. As you ascend the garden steps, the plot reveals its "Good Life" credentials. The orchard boasts 12 apple, 2 plum, and 4 pear trees, while the raised beds and chicken area offer a taste of self-sufficiency. At the front, curved paved paths lead through mature borders to hidden seating areas and a greenhouse. The entire perimeter is securely fenced and gated, ensuring a private and safe sanctuary for children and pets alike.
