‘Highfield House’ has been a focal part of Launceston’s architecture since 1860, when solicitor William Henty founded it.
The magnificent property overlooks the picturesque Tamar Valley while also taking in Launceston’s city centre.
Retaining many of the original features, the home was extensively renovated in 2014 and has been established as a very popular B&B.
The refurbishment instilled a sense of style back into the walls of Highfield House evoking a perfect mix of Tasmanian history and contemporary ambience.
The property offers buyers the chance to continue to operate the property in its current use as a B&B with sound financial returns.
Or there is scope to return it to a magnificent family home.
The property boasts six boutique bedrooms all complimented with modern en-suites, each room has its own individual design that is contemporary yet in keeping with the historic charm of the property.
A low maintenance garden provides the setting of a charming entertaining area, perfect for family meals or for guests to relax during the summer months.
There is so much potential here and could be the perfect property to suit a sea changer or someone looking for a property that can be distanced managed.
Highfield House is only a few minutes walk to Launceston's city centre and evokes the laid-back and relaxed lifestyle that Tasmania is famed for.
