Part of our Signature collection, dating from the early 1600's and set in the Rayne conservation area, Highways Cottage is one of the oldest houses in the village, with later additions and alterations the property is of a Oak framed construction with weatherboarding and washed elevations to the rear which sit under a thatched roof.

Steeped in character with many original features such as exposed beams to walls and ceilings, Inglenook fireplaces and Elm wood staircases. The property has been sympathetically restored providing beautifully presented accommodation along with a new luxury kitchen.

A solid wood door opens in to the entrance lobby with original brick flooring, turned Elm staircase and a doorway leads off to the kitchen which offers flagstone flooring, complemented by light coloured bespoke units and work surfaces. There is a is a range cooker, induction hob and views over the rear garden along with a separate utility room allowing space and plumbing for all the necessary appliances. From the lobby, the cloakroom can be accessed along with the formal dining room with large redbrick Inglenook fireplace with working fire, exposed beams to walls and ceilings, French doors leading out to the front garden and a further doorway leads through to a sitting area. This impressive reception space flows through to the generous living room with superb redbrick inglenook fireplace, and a further turned Elm staircase leads to bedroom one. The study is positioned to the front with small fireplace and external door giving access to the front garden. To complete the ground floor accommodation is the tiled family bathroom with roll top bathtub, walk in shower, WC and wash hand basin.

To the first floor are three generously proportioned bedrooms which can be accessed by either staircase. From the lobby area, stairs rise to bedrooms two and three, whilst a second staircase accessed from the main reception room, rises to bedroom one with an inter-connecting door connecting all bedrooms.

The property is approached by gated access to a beautifully maintained laid to lawn front garden interspersed with fruit trees and shrub borders. A wrought iron gate leads to the to the rear garden which is well established with an abundance of fruit trees, predominantly laid to lawn with well-stocked borders and ornamental fish pond.
