Overall Description - This superb property was originally one of the stables for Highfield Farm, which was owned by the Woolworth family (of department store fame) and used to house their polo ponies. The whole site was converted around 20 years ago into high quality rural homes in a gloriously peaceful rural setting - the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The property is very modern and practical but still has plenty of character, especially in both the main sitting/dining room and master bedroom with their high vaulted ceiling. and exposed wooden beams. There is also an entrance hall, a modern kitchen and nicely appointed bathroom and the property has oil-fired central-heating (with a new bunded tank) and double-glazed timber windows.. The car-park has two allocated parking spaces as well as further visitor parking. There is a small area of garden to the front and owners also have the use of the communal grounds which amount to around an acre and have lovely views across the surrounding countryside. If you want to escape city living and yet still live close to local transport links then this stable conversion could be for you.
