About this property

Detailed Description

Situated in an idyllic rural setting, Highgate Farmhouse is an attractive south facing country house, set in approximately 1.85 acres (stms) of mature grounds. The original cottage dates back to the 18th century, with an extension later added to the eastern elevation dated 1862.

This fine six-bedroom family home blends a wealth of character and period charm with bespoke fixtures and fittings, including a Hartley Botanic orangery, providing a light filled, versatile living space. Of particular note is the inscripted frieze which wraps around the eastern end of the property.

In more detail, the principal accommodation comprises an entrance porch, entrance hall, kitchen, dining room, cloak room, downstairs bathroom, snug, sitting room, drawing room, orangery and six double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.

Much of the charm of Highgate Farmhouse is within the spectacular gardens which offer many points of interest. The gardens boast an abundance of plant and shrub species, pond and terrace, situated within grounds flanked with mature trees and hedgerows, together with a paddock at the rear of the property. A solar array situated within the paddock serves electricity to the property and feeds excess supply into the grid, generating a small annual income. There are two outbuildings, a large Nissen hut and garage, situated to the front of the property.
