Summary - Highfield House, Common Lane, Sutton-on-the-Hill DE6 5JD
4 bed 1 bath House
Spacious four-bedroom family retreat with exceptional outdoor land.
Just under an acre of private grounds and garden
Set in just under an acre with sweeping countryside views, Highfield House is a bespoke laminated timber home completed in 2018. The open-plan ground floor combines lounge, dining and kitchen beneath large floor-to-ceiling windows and opens onto a southwest-facing veranda — a bright, social heart for family life and entertaining.
Four double bedrooms occupy the first floor, including a principal suite with balcony and walk-in wardrobe. Natural finishes, hardwood parquet flooring and generous room proportions give a calm, contemporary feel. Practical spaces include a utility room (sauna provision) and detached garage, with abundant parking from the private driveway.
The house also offers strong environmental credentials: triple-glazed windows, sheep’s wool insulation, a borehole providing mains-plus water, and a ground-source heat pump with underfloor distribution. Buyers should note the heat pump and underfloor heating are currently not operational and will require repair or recommissioning.
Because the property is of non-standard timber construction, lenders may require specialist mortgage enquiries. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and council tax is high (Band F), but the plot size, rural privacy and adaptable accommodation make this a rare countryside family home with renovation potential.
