Inside, the entrance hall has doors on either side to the two main reception rooms, which both have sash windows.

To the left is the drawing room, which features an electric fireplace with stone surround.

The property has Mediterranean-style landscaped gardens with a small lawned area to the side.

In the grounds there's an outbuilding, currently used as a home office and hobby room, which once served as an annexe providing extra accommodation.

This could be reinstated, depending on planning permission, and used as guest space or for multi-generational living.

Highfield House is set on Bury Road in the popular village of Lavenham, which has independent shops, cafés and restaurants.
