Description

Highfield Cottage presents an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in real estate or develop a bespoke property. Nestled on approximately one acre in the Lower Dunton Road area, this unique offering includes a spacious two-bedroom detached bungalow alongside two self-contained annexes, ideal for rental income or accommodating extended family. The primary residence features a functional layout with a welcoming entrance, sizable lounge, and an updated kitchen/diner, complemented by two generous double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. Flexibility is key here, as additional reception space can easily be transformed into a home office or guest suite. The accompanying annexes are thoughtfully designed, each with its own bedroom, kitchen, and shower room—perfect for independent living arrangements or as profitable rental units. A significant advantage of this property is the existing planning permission to demolish the current structures and construct a contemporary four-bedroom family home. This allows potential buyers to embark on a self-build project tailored to their specifications within a well-established plot. The extensive outdoor space enhances appeal further; mature hedges provide privacy while offering ample possibilities for landscaping and leisure setups. Moreover, the sweeping driveway allows parking for multiple vehicles, ensuring convenience for residents and guests alike.
