Location Highfield is set along High Road, between the villages of Witnesham and Swilland. Witnesham is located just 6 miles to the north-east of Ipswich and benefits from a primary school and a thriving village pub, The Barley Mow. The Fynn Valley Golf Club is on the outskirts of the village. The county town of Ipswich provides a full range of local shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities, as well as main line rail services running regularly to London's Liverpool Street taking just over the hour. The popular town of Woodbridge, based on the banks of the River Deben, lies about 9 miles to the east and also provides access to the A12 and Heritage Coast.

Directions Proceeding north out of Ipswich on the Westerfield Road (B1077), continue through the village of Westerfield and past the Fynn Valley Golf Club on your right. Continue through Witnesham and take the right hand turn into High Road, signposted Otley College and Swilland. Highfield will be found a short way along on the right hand side.

Description Highfield is believed to originally date from the mid 19th century, and is of traditional brick construction under a pitched slate roof. The property has been in the family's ownership for nearly 60 years. Over the years some improvement works have been commissioned, but the property now warrants modernisation throughout, and possibly extending to the rear, subject to the necessary consents. The accommodation extends to just over 1,000 square feet in all, with an entrance lobby, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and wet room on the ground floor. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a WC. Outside there is a generous driveway to the front of the property, that is sufficiently large enough for the parking of three to four vehicles, together with a large rear garden that backs onto open agricultural land. The rear garden also includes a useful 17'9 x 11'10 store/workshop building, with power connected. Prospective purchasers should note that parts of the property are seemingly of single 'skin' brick construction, and this may affect the ability to secure mortgage finance on the property.
