- Two self-contained annexes, ideal for income or relatives

Set within a generous circa 2-acre plot in tranquil Lower Dunton Road, Highfield Cottage presents a rare development and family-living opportunity. The site currently comprises a 1930s detached house with two self-contained annexes — flexible for multi-generational living or rental income while you plan the next step.
Full planning permission has been granted to demolish the existing structures and construct a bespoke four-bedroom detached family home, offering a clear route for redevelopment. For buyers who prefer to retain the existing buildings, the main house requires modernization and the site allows immediate occupation while longer-term plans are implemented.
Externally the plot is a standout: mature boundaries, a sweeping driveway with ample off-street parking, and extensive grounds afford privacy and scope for landscaping, gardens or leisure facilities. Practical details suit modern life — freehold tenure, fast broadband, and an affluent village setting close to Good primary schools.
Important considerations: the current buildings are dated and will need substantial updating if retained; the granted planning permission anticipates demolition and a new build. Mobile signal is average and the nearest secondary has a Requires Improvement Ofsted rating, which may matter to some families.
