Detached house for sale in Main Road, Higham, Alfreton DE55

This most attractive period stone cottage provides comfortable and characterful three bedroom accommodation which is presented to a pleasing modern standard throughout and stands with the sometimes rare advantage of two garages, off-street parking and a sizeable garden, all well suited for family life. Adjoining the cottage is a single storey annexe, the front being of a similar age and style. Ownership of the annexe is allied to the main house and for several years has been a letting investment and continues to offer opportunity for supplementary income or versatility to provide independent guest accommodation or perhaps space to adapt for the home-worker.

Situated to the centre of old Higham well back from the main trunk road and well placed for access to the market towns of Alfreton and Chesterfield, Matlock and Mansfield. There are excellent road commuter links north and south along the A38 and M1 corridors, whilst the village is equally favoured for easy access to the delights of the Amber Valley and neighbouring Derbyshire Dales countryside.
