Highfield Cottage is a large Victorian family home set on a very large, south-facing plot in quiet Hillfield, Cheddar. The house retains many original features — high ceilings, cornicing, sash windows and cast-iron fireplaces — while offering contemporary living with a large open-plan kitchen/family area, utility, study and five double bedrooms, two with en suites. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and family life.
The grounds include a detached stone garage with insulated room currently used as a gym/music space, driveway parking for several cars and an EV charging point. Planning permission (Ref 17/23/00085) is already approved for a separate two-bedroom dwelling within the grounds, presenting clear development or annexe potential. The layout and plot also make conversion of the garage to an annexe feasible (subject to permissions).
Important practical points are stated plainly: the house uses electric storage heating and walls are assumed uninsulated (sandstone/limestone construction), contributing to an EPC D rating and higher running costs. Council Tax is in Band F and should be factored into ownership costs. Overall this property suits buyers seeking a substantial period family home with development upside, or investors wanting a converted/expanded plot in an affluent small-town location.
