A detached and much extended village house with flexible accommodation set on a 0.76-acre plot with wraparound gardens including a pond and a swimming pool, with a gated driveway with off street parking ahead of an integral double garage, in a village location with far reaching countryside views. In an elevated position on the fringes, but within walking distance of the village, Highlands commands views from all the first-floor rooms of tree-bordered pastureland from the front or its own established lawned gardens, featuring mature oak and silver birch trees. As a result, the property feels rural and secluded but is not isolated. Built in the 1950s, the house has subsequently been extended, but much of the accommodation retains the sense of space, so typical of that period, accompanied by ample windows introducing natural light. Built of brick under clay, the ground floor elevations are rendered; the first storey is defined by gables, some of which are hipped, and there are hanging tiles. The west side was extended (before the current owners’ time, over thirty years ago) increasing the kitchen area and creating a wing with a garage beneath the principal suite and a loggia at the rear. Now, alongside the double garage, there is ample parking for up to six cars.
