Something very special indeed. ‘1 Highfield Cottages’ is not just another property, it is a whole way of life!

Having been sympathetically extended and including an impressive facade, this former Sledmere Estate cottage has been tastefully enhanced and provides a wealth of traditionally styled accommodation. The setting of this unique home has awesome views and access across the Yorkshire Wolds whilst being only 10 minutes from Driffield town, offering truly spacious, peaceful and convenient living.

The accommodation itself includes four main reception rooms on the ground floor with four bedrooms at first floor level, the master bedroom having an en-suite. The accommodation is beautifully maintained throughout and extremely versatile in layout, the owners opting to have two main living rooms plus separate study with the dining area having delightful views onto the garden and opening to an extensive patio area and rear garden.

There is generous parking to the front via a gravelled forecourt and the size of the plot provides scope for parking of multiple vehicles or indeed construction of a garage. The gardens wrap around the house from front to rear and are enhanced further by paved/patio/seating areas.

In addition the property provides an extremely versatile studio complete with shower room and kitchenette opening up scope for a kids play area/ home gym/ additional accommodation to the main house or for a business opportunity.

Further outside buildings include a 20 ft shed and workshop/greenhouse.

A comprehensive VIEWING of this property is hugely recommended and it is difficult to imagine that these will disappoint.
