Summary - HIGHFIELD HOUSE CORTON DENHAM SHERBORNE DT9 4LT
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious period home with huge gardens and panoramic rural views.
- Five large double bedrooms, principal bedroom with ensuite
Highfield House is a handsome unlisted period home dating from 1750, recently renovated to blend original character with modern comforts. Spacious reception rooms, including an elegant sitting room opening onto a sunny terrace, make it ideal for family living and entertaining. The large kitchen diner, snug, study and utility spaces provide practical day-to-day living while period features—exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and deep windows—retain strong historic appeal.
Set in circa 1.2 acres of professionally landscaped gardens, the plot enjoys sweeping views across rolling countryside towards Corton Beacon. Terraced lawns, specimen trees, a summer house with power, and low-maintenance planting create a private, tranquil setting with extensive parking, a garage, carport and mezzanine storage.
Accommodation comprises five large double bedrooms (principal with ensuite), family bathroom, shower room and separate WC, all served by oil-fired central heating and double glazing installed after 2002. There is a former garage with lapsed planning permission to convert into a studio, offering scope to add flexible accommodation subject to consent.
Practical considerations: the property lies in a rural hamlet with no mobile signal and slow broadband speeds. The main heating is an oil-fired boiler and walls are traditional stone (no modern cavity insulation assumed). These factors suit buyers seeking country living and character, but may require planning for connectivity and longer-term energy considerations.
