Church Lane, Ellastone

Highdale House is a well-presented three-bedroom detached property situated in the highly sought-after village of Ellastone. The layout includes a master bedroom with ensuite and two further double bedrooms, one of which was created by merging two original rooms to provide a larger space. The property enjoys elevated countryside views, giving a sense of openness, making it well-suited to family living.

Externally, the home offers off-street parking and a double garage, along with the potential to extend further (planning permission was granted in Jan 2025). Drawings for a proposed extension are available, upon request. The property is located within easy reach of local village amenities, with Ellastone playing fields just opposite, providing a useful outdoor space for families with children.
