<p>A beautifully positioned period four bedroom detached farmhouse occupying 11.5 acres of pastureland and woodland with an incredible range of farm buildings and stables situated off a tree lined driveway.</p><p>Highlands Farm Cottage is a seldom found property, forming part of a historic dairy farm situated in a breath-taking position overlooking glorious countryside. The property has been home to the same family for over 40 years. There are a wide range of heritage farm buildings which have been well kept and boast many original features, in particular the Edwardian coach house and adjoining stable block.</p><p>The home itself has a huge amount of charm and character, with a part timber clad and part brick facade, large multi-pane windows and hipped tiled roof. Internally there are two reception rooms found to the front of the property, which include a double aspect sitting room with a wood burner, and a separate double aspect study. The kitchen is found to the rear and continues through to an open plan dining area. A set of French doors opens to the rear terrace and on into the garden. Also on the ground floor are an inner hallway and a shower room. An oak staircase rises to the first floor where there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom.</p><p>Outside, the front of the property is approached via a picturesque driveway, where you pass the farm buildings and arrive at a parking area. There are large informal cottage gardens surrounding the entire house. These are beautifully established with a vast array of mixed planting all positioned amongst the historic brick walls and pillars of what were older barns and outbuildings.</p><p>The wider grounds are mostly laid to meadow pasture, with stunning mature trees and a section of Ancient Woodland adjoining Abbot’s Wood.</p><p>A range of outbuildings form the historic farmyard, and include garaging (originally a coach house), a former tack room with fittings, stables with hay loft, a large ex-cowshed, a small annexe (in what was the old dairy), two looseboxes, a wood shed (originally the bull pen) and a storage barn, that was historically the midden. In combination this provides a stunning family home, with space, privacy and significant potential for multiple uses.</p>
