Ain’t no mountain high enough… to keep you from loving this home! Nestled in the heart of the countryside, surrounded by rolling fields and far reaching rural views, High Gables is a magnificent seven-bedroom detached family home with character, space and a versatility that is rarely found. Having been cherished by the same family for decades and being formerly a successful bed & breakfast, this is a home with a story and now an exciting opportunity for its next chapter. Whether you’re dreaming of a large family haven, multi-generational living, somewhere to work from home, or perhaps the opportunity to recreate its former B&B use, High Gables offers an abundance of possibilities.
From the moment you arrive, there is an immediate feeling of space and tranquility. The generous driveway leads to a home surrounded by its own wraparound gardens, while the countryside stretches out beyond, creating a wonderful sense of freedom and privacy spaces. Step in through the front door and you are welcomed by a generous entrance hallway leading to the downstairs accommodation. At the front is a formal living room with open fireplace perfect for those colder winter evenings. The living room opens into a formal dining room with French doors leading to a patio and garden beyond, creating a wonderful sense of freedom and privacy. A useful wet room and cloakroom come utility room are handy additions. With a contemporary breakfast kitchen fitted with cream cupboards and complementing worktops. A further family room is located to the back of the home with access out to both the back and the side.
Upstairs, the accommodation is particularly versatile and is arranged over two distinct areas accessed via separate staircases. Leading to four of the main double bedrooms, two of these benefit from walk in wardrobe space with a bathroom completing this space. The layout offers the exciting possibility of creating a more independent four bedroom area, subject to any necessary permissions and alterations. The second staircase is accessed from the rear family room and leads to three further double bedrooms, two having built in wardrobes with a contemporary bathroom having bath and shower. With an open plan living dining kitchen which provide yet another flexible area for family life or independent use. From here doors lead out onto a balcony with access to the garden.
High Gables is set within an idyllic rural setting with views stretching for miles, the garden is wraparound with mature borders, fruit trees and lawn with generous driveway providing off road parking for multiple vehicles. The garden areas could easily be separated to create 2 enclosed gardens adding to the potential for separate living. An integral double garage houses two useful workshops and offer potential for further expansion.
Despite its wonderful rural setting, High gables is far from isolated. The village of Tean is just a short stroll away, offering local shops, eateries and schools, together with convenient commuter links.
Ultimately, this is much more than simply a seven bedroomed house. High Gables is a home that can evolve with you.
A place where a large family can grow.
A home where generations can live together while still enjoying their own space.
A property with the potential to work from home or revive its former B&B story.
Because darling, ain’t no mountain high enough, ain’t no valley low enough, ain’t no river wide enough to keep you from the home you were always meant to find!
