Originally a small working farm, Highfield Hall farmhouse has been unoccupied for a number of years and has fallen in to a state of disrepair. The property now requires a total scheme of renovation or alternatively, planning permission has now been granted to create a new impressive architect-designed property which has been carefully considered to take full advantage of the stunning views over the Dee valley towards the Welsh Hills. The elevated position affords far-reaching views and the rear elevation of the proposed property is largely glass to allow full appreciation of the vista.

The current permission provides for creation of a substantial five bedroom property. More recently plans have been drawn up by the sellers to develop the site further and create a totally unique light, modern and airy 640m2 six bedroom dwelling. Whilst these have not been lodged with the Local Authority, it is believed they will be looked on favourably.

Adjacent to the property are a range of agricultural buildings comprising a number of steel portal-framed buildings and a brick building which is, in part, two-storey. These buildings offer the ideal space for creation of stables, workshop or garaging. Alternatively, within the new architect proposed plans, these would form the basis of a leisure complex and self-contained annexe. The current access to the site will be blocked off and a new sweeping drive created to access the property. 

The property sits within its own substantial grounds totalling 15 Acres (6.07 Ha). This ensures absolute privacy for the property but also provides opportunity for equestrian or smallholding use. The land is currently in grass and is well-suited for the grazing of stock and horses. Equally, the level ground adjacent to the buildings would be the ideal site for a manège, subject to any necessary planning consents. 

The network of surrounding quiet country lanes and bridlepaths are ideal for hacking out and a number of popular competition venues and facilities are within close proximity. 

Additional Land 

Further land, up to 34.67 Acres (14.03 Ha), would be available by separate negotiation. The land, which is ideal for grazing or mowing, is level at the roadside but slopes away towards the rear of the property.

Full Planning permission was granted on 15.12.2023 Ref WOR P/2022/0441 for the demolition of the current property and erection of a replacement dwelling with a garage. Please note that the property was historically referred to as Cottage Gorse Farm hence the reference
