DESCRIPTION

HIGHFIELD HOUSE

A relatively modern two storey house, which sits in an elevated position in a sought-after rural setting with fine views over the surrounding gently undulating countryside and coast to the north. The first floor provides 4 double bedrooms (one of which is en-suite), box room which might also be put to use as a nursery or home office and a family bathroom with both bath and separate shower enclosure. The ground floor comprises a reception hall with an imperial staircase which leads to the gallery above, sunroom, lounge, kitchen with adjacent dining area, dining room, sunroom, lounge, second kitchen and double bedroom with en-suite.

OUTSIDE

Externally Highfield House is set within a generous enclosed wrap around garden including two paddocks which in total extend to approximately 3.65 Acres enclosed by a mixture of wooden and post and wire fencing. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a wide sweeping turning area, all of which is accessed via a private driveway and provides ample room for parking multiple cars.

BUILDINGS

A pair of steel portal framed buildings measuring approximately 35m by 24.5m and 35m by 16.5m. Both have poured concrete floors and are clad with box profile sheeting over shuttered concrete dwarf walls under corrugated fibre cement. Previously used in conjunction with adjoining livery business (now closed) they are fitted out with a series of boxes and benefit from three phase electricity and water supply. There is a large shared hard standing area leading to each making loading and unloading though the full height roller doors more convenient. Externally there is adequate security lighting and a camera system installed, while the space between the buildings and to the rear is fenced and used as a manège.

LAND

Extending to approximately 24.65 Acres 9.974(Ha), the land is currently subdivided into 5 enclosures all of which have a water source and are used for grazings in conjunction with the adjacent livery business. The land is designated as grade 3 on the land classification for agriculture system, so

considered of arable quality and was in fact used for arable production in the past. The soils are predominantly of the Ordley series and composed of brown earths with some humus-iron podzols. The entitlements are not owned and therefore cannot be included in the sale.
