Agents Note
It is worth noting that, like any property of this age, Highcroft Farmhouse needs ongoing maintenance and updating. The property, but not the outbuildings, are Grade II listed.
The driveway and courtyard are owned by the property, with the two neighbouring properties (Highcroft Cottage & Highcroft View) having a right of access via the driveway or yard.
Services to the property are mains water, mains electricity, oil central heating and septic tank for drainage. Some utilities cross the two neighbouring properties, with deeds in place to ensure access when needed.
There are no rights of way over the paddock or gardens. There is however a separate access point from the main road which could serve as a sole access point to the property or indeed the outbuildings were they to be converted (STPP).
