With an attractive façade of exposed timber framing with plaster infills and a charming entrance porch, High Trees features characterful, vintage architecture and offers almost 2,500 sq. ft of extended internal accommodation arranged over two floors. The property currently offers a blank canvas of opportunity, with the undertaking of a programme of refurbishment and enhancement providing the potential to create a unique, individually designed family home perfectly suited to specific requirements and preferences (subject to planning permission).

Presently, the reception hall gives access to a sitting room with alcove corner and French doors which open to the rear garden, with a spacious, open-plan kitchen and dining room to the opposite side of the hallway. Ancillary space is provided by an adjoining utility room with cupboard storage, whilst a versatile-use family room extends into a bay window recess and completes the lower-level arrangement. It is worth noting that there is planning consent for a single storey rear extension with patio – Appl. 23/00943/CPD, decision date – 21st April 2023.

Two separate stairways rise to the first-floor accommodation, one providing direct access to a bedroom enabling the conception of annexe rooms in a new layout, if required. There is a further room adjoining this one, providing options for use as a study, bedroom or nursery. Four additional good-sized bedrooms are available on this level, along with two en suite shower rooms and a former family bathroom.

Occupying a generous plot, the property enjoys an outlook over a central green bordered by majestic birch trees. A low-level stone wall, backed by manicured, evergreen hedging fronts the lane, with a wrought-iron pedestrian gate and timber, five-bar gate, both set in stone pillars providing access to the property. An additional entry point is available to the side of the house and leads onto a large expanse of hardstanding and to the second garage outbuilding.

The wrap-around garden is laid to lawn, with a variety of mature shrubs and beds of perennial planting, whilst a paving area adjoining the house offers opportunity for al fresco dining and relaxation and extends to form the surround to an outdoor swimming pool.
