Description - Highfields Cottage is a truly unique period home, originally forming four individual cottages dating back to the 1650s. Over time, the property was combined and later reconfigured to create one substantial dwelling, with the final transformation into a single residence taking place during the 1980s.

More recently, in 2022, the property underwent further thoughtful reconfiguration and enhancement under the guidance of respected local architects, David Granger Architects, helping to create the well-balanced and versatile layout seen today.

Planning permission has also been granted for the creation of a fifth bedroom and additional en-suite bathroom, offering excellent scope for further extension or reconfiguration, with plans available upon request.

Accommodation Details - Ground Floor - Entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a striking entrance hall where character immediately comes to the fore, with exposed timbers and a sense of space enhanced by the open staircase. The staircase itself is a standout feature, finished with a contemporary glass balustrade which continues onto the galleried landing above, creating a real design statement. Off the hallway, the sitting room is positioned to the front elevation, offering a more relaxed and cosy reception space. The dining room is another beautifully presented room, featuring exposed beams and a pleasant outlook to the front, providing an ideal setting for formal dining and entertaining.
