As part of our Signature collection is the sale of part of Highfield Farm, a modern farmhouse with approximately 3,085 sq ft of accommodation.
The farmhouse is set in mature well stocked award winning gardens and is in an elevated position with stunning views over the beautiful undulating countryside of the Stour Valley.
This substantial farmhouse has a wonderful outlook over the front field and is surrounded by an expanse of mature attractive gardens. Built in the mid 1980s, the property offers generous accommodation with a large conservatory overlooking the stunning gardens of just over an acre.
The canopied entrance door opens into a spacious hallway with doors to the large sitting room, dining room, large fitted study and cloakroom. There is a good sized kitchen/breakfast room with double doors leading to the spectacular conservatory which has ample space for seating and a large dining table. The utility room provides access to both the front and rear of the property, and also accessed from the kitchen is a sitting room/snug.
On the first floor is a spacious landing with five double bedrooms. The principal and second bedrooms both benefit from en-suite facilities, whilst the third bedroom has a dressing area and built-in storage, and two further bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. There is a family bathroom, separate wc and airing cupboard.
Outside
The property is approached by an ‘in & out’ driveway which provides ample parking and leads past the detached double garage. The mature award-winning gardens surround the property and are laid out with an extensive selection of herbaceous plants, shrubs and decorative trees, with an interesting range of hand-built flint garden structures, paths and pergolas.
Located within the garden is a large store shed/workshop, an attractive garden cloakroom and a rose and clematis clad pergola. The garden has been opened regularly in aid of charity.
Location
Highfields Farm has the most wonderful secluded location being set back from a quiet rural road approached over a private driveway which serves the adjoining two properties and beyond Highfields Farm turns into a restricted byway. The property has an elevated location with stunning views out across the surrounding Stour Valley area of outstanding natural beauty. The property is ideally located for easy access to the A134 with access south to Colchester and north to Sudbury. Mainline rail services are available from Colchester and there is a branch line station in the village of Bures which connects to the mainline at Marks Tey.
