A Grade II listed former farmhouse dating back to circa 1750 and offering enormous and exciting potential. The property is located in West Woodlands and has six bedrooms, several outbuildings, gardens and a paddock.

DESCRIPTION
Set in a stunning rural location with breathtaking views of the English countryside, this exceptional six-bedroom detached home offers an abundance of space, character, and versatility. Boasting well-maintained gardens, multiple outbuildings, separate paddock, and characterful features this property is perfect for families seeking a blend of modern convenience and countryside charm.

Upon entering through the porch, a welcoming hallway leads to a range of generously proportioned living spaces.

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).
