Property description

Highfield offers an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period family home located in a quiet backwater with beautiful mature gardens adjoining open views. In more recent years, the property has been renovated and updated to a high standard and retains many period features including; beautiful bay windows, open fireplaces, an outstanding hardwood three storey staircase and high ceilings. On entering Highfield, an elegant reception hall provides access to all principle rooms, including a 19’ sitting room with working fireplace and bay window overlooking the gardens, a beautifully proportioned dining room also featuring an attractive fireplace and bay window, and the advantage of a large study/third reception. Ground floor accommodation continues with a modern kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a bespoke range of timber base and wall units with granite worktops, range oven and integrated dishwasher. This in turn leads to a 15’ utility/boot room and a large external store that offers (subject to building regulations) potential to create additional living space. A beautiful hardwood staircase provides access to the bedroom accommodation set out over two floors. The first floor includes two stunning principle bedrooms to the rear aspect with bay windows as well as a lovely double bedroom with doors leading to a balcony affording far reaching views and a further double bedroom located to the front aspect. The master bedroom includes an en-suite shower room whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by both a generous bathroom and modern shower room. On reaching the second landing you are presented with three further bedrooms, including a wonderful 21’ space with views to the rear aspect. Bedroom 7/study has access to a useful loft void. Externally Highfield is approached by a long gravelled driveway providing access to a detached double garage with light and power. Directly to the front of the property there is a useful kitchen garden with patio surround and access to a garden store. The rear gardens are a particular feature of Highfield as they offer a sunny southerly aspect adjoining open views. The gardens include a large terrace with the remainder being laid mainly to lawn with well stocked borders. Directly behind the garage is a second terrace which in turns leads to a fruit garden.
