Set on the edge of Higham village, this Victorian detached house offers traditional character with modern conveniences. Two reception rooms, a double‑glazed conservatory and a modern fitted kitchen give comfortable family living on the ground floor, while exposed beams and feature fireplaces add authentic charm.
The property benefits from a large, landscaped rear garden of approximately 100ft, gated front driveway and additional rear parking. A detached, wheelchair‑friendly one‑bed annexe with integral garage provides versatile space for multi‑generational use, home working or guest accommodation — though current planning allows occupation only by family or friends.
Practical features include mains gas central heating, recent double glazing, CCTV and a water softener. The house sits on a substantial plot in an affluent village with fast broadband and excellent rail links to London, making it well suited to families who commute but want countryside access.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the main dwelling is solid brick and likely lacks cavity wall insulation; it dates from before 1900 so some modernisation and energy upgrades may be needed. Council tax is above average, and separate planning permission would be required to let the annexe to unrelated tenants.
