PERCHED on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, Highland House is a modern escape to the countryside, offering modern conveniences and large open rooms, this property is sure to not disappoint.
Highland House is part of a modern development of homes called Hartrow Farm, which comprises a selection of five family homes, all enjoying scenic country views. Uniquely, Highland House itself offers a mixture of traditional features alongside modern living.
Throughout its development, no expense has been spared. The detached home benefits from 2,237 sq ft of accommodation space and has views towards the Quantock Hills and Bristol Channel.
Highland House benefits from a large driveway suitable for several cars, and a generously-sized double garage. Looking onward from the property, you have two neighbouring houses opposite, with a further two neighbours on each site.
Rest assured, though, these properties leave plenty of space between plots, and rural views can be enjoyed for miles upon miles.
The Hartrow Farm development is situated on an elevated position, helping with the fantastic views that surround the property. Built on a beautiful and unspoilt rural plot, the site allows for accessibility to the edge of the Brendon Hills and Exmoor National Park.
As you approach Hartrow Farm, admiring the natural beauty surrounding you, you will find five detached properties, which have been designed for modern luxury living. Highland House is a corner plot, and its driveway allows for ample space to park multiple cars benefiting large families or those hosting visitors to this wonderful rural location.
Approaching the front of Highland House, you are greeted with a cottage style door, with large panes of glass either side, reassuring you that plenty of light is getting through and into the hall.
