Highfield House is a substantial, modern family home finished to a high specification and arranged over three floors, offering about 3,250 sq ft of flexible living. Built in 2009 to the current owner’s specification, the property combines solid construction (piled foundations, filled cavity walls) with high-end systems — Crestron smart home, whole-house audio, zoned underfloor heating and extensive CAT5/6 wiring. The gated driveway, recordable CCTV and remote-operated entrance provide strong security and privacy on a 0.21-acre plot.
The ground floor is designed for family life and entertaining: a spacious reception hall with oak staircase, a living room with bifold doors to the garden and roof lantern, a vaulted dining room, cinema room and a bespoke kitchen with granite and quartz worktops and integrated Siemens appliances. Upstairs the principal and guest bedrooms have en suites, a fitted dressing area serves the main bedroom, and two further floors provide six bedrooms in total — the top floor can serve as a teenage suite or flexible living/office space.
Outside, the fully enclosed rear garden has paved seating leading to a lawn, with parking for several cars, an oversized detached garage and an adjacent home gym. Practical notes: broadband speeds are reported as slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property sits in an affluent, low-crime rural setting a short drive from local schools and amenities, suited to families seeking privacy, technology-rich living and generous accommodation.
