The hall offers access to the lounge, the kitchen, the snug, and ash stairs rise to the first floor.
The spacious lounge enjoys a bright and airy aspect, the front window overlooks the a paddock to the front and double doors open through to the beautiful oak built garden room.
The breakfast kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units. There is a ceramic sink drainer unit under the window enjoying views over the beautiful garden. A breakfast bar offers a convenient area for a quick snack, and integrated appliances include a double oven, a gas hob, and the all important dishwasher.
The original beamed snug/sitting room is located to the front of the house and your eyes will be drawn towards the exposed chimney breast housing an original cast iron stove, just lovely.
At the rear of the house you will find a truly elegant, bespoke built, solid oak garden room. The quality and detailed craftsmanship is obvious. It provides a beautiful entertaining area.
Beyond the garden room is a family/games room that discretely doubles up as a utility area too. The fitted units that house, and disguise the white goods, continue along the remaining walls providing great storage for media, and other products. The high vaulted ceiling provides a beautiful feature.
In turn the lobby area leads to a double bedroom which enjoys views to the front and a full size shower room providing great facilities downstairs.

First Floor

The staircase rises to the first floor where you will find a spacious tiered landing leading to three double bedrooms.
The spacious, master bedroom enjoys a dual aspect window to the front and rear elevation enjoying views from both directions.
The second and third bedrooms are at the opposite end of the landing, both are double bedrooms and both have built in storage cupboards!
The family bathroom, again elegantly fitted with a four piece suite includes a rolled edge bath, a large corner shower unit, a W.C and a hand basin, and is complemented by stylish tiling, spot lights, and a lowish window where you can lie in the bath, maybe pour a cheeky gin and tonic and relax ...

Outside

There are many quality features about Highfield Cottage that you will enjoy during your tour, and as you continue around the outside space, you will see it is just as well cared for which is just as well cared for.

A larger than average garage (more like a show room), has a doorway to a 22ft workshop, again just as immaculate as the rest of this home. A unique and great space for the enthusiast of any hobby, potential studio, or converting into as separate annex as running water and heating is already installed.

The rear walled garden to me is just perfect, having a very private aspect and a beautiful view over the neighbouring clock tower ... Big enough to enjoy with family and friends an designed with low maintenance in mind.

There are two brick built out building providing even further storage, again these are heated!
