Situated in a unique position within the heart of Highfield this individual detached residence offers versatile and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors and stands in an established plot in excess of one fifth of an acre. In addition to the generous plot the accommodation is comprehensive and offers four bedrooms over two floors all of which are doubles which are complemented by a contemporary family bathroom. Undoubtedly one of the property's stand out features is the impressive 22' 2" kitchen/dining room which offers immediate access onto a raised veranda overlooking the garden.
In addition there is a separate utility room as well as an attractive sitting room which centres on a feature log burner. Externally the property continues to impress, not only due to the size of the grounds which enjoy a south westerly aspect but also for the advantage of the addition of a detached home office ideal for those working from home and also could have use for leisure facilities. In addition, there is also a useful under house storage area ideal for the storage of leisure and garden equipment. Due to the combination of features, individual nature and rare availability of this property type in the area, early viewings are recommended.
