Highmead House is a striking Edwardian property that is now surrounded by the Bellway Homes 'Hinxhill Park' development. Unoccupied for several years and with utilities disconnected, there are substantial renovation and maintenance requirements necessary to make this home both habitable and restored it to its former glory. This home is now suitable for cash buyers only. PLEASE SEE PDF BROCHURE FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE.

A substantial Edwardian House with some wonderful features including parquet flooring, grand staircases, herringbone brick fireplaces and picture windows. The generosity afforded to the living space is beyond question, with four bedrooms on the first floor, three bedrooms on the second floor, three generous reception rooms, a long kitchen-breakfast room, an office and a boot room. Displaying proud Edwardian architecture with mellow brick elevations and tall ceilings, this is a rare and enticing opportunity to acquire a substantial home in an accessible position on the outskirts of Ashford. The property has excellent scope for modernisation given the superb proportions of the rooms.
