Secure, high-spec six-bed family home with cinema, gym and extensive smart systems..
Six bedrooms and four bathrooms across 3,250 sq ft
Highfield House is a substantial six-bedroom detached home offering about 3,250 sq ft across three floors, built to a high specification in 2009. The house sits privately behind remote-operated gates on a large 0.21-acre plot on The Ridge, Little Baddow, with a detached oversized garage and adjacent home gym. Security is strong: recordable CCTV and a secure gated entrance provide seclusion and peace of mind.
The interior is designed for modern family living and entertaining. Zoned underfloor heating runs throughout, oak-framed double-glazed windows and limestone flooring create a warm, durable finish, and a bespoke kitchen with granite and quartz surfaces includes Siemens integrated appliances. Smart-home features are extensive: Crestron AV/IT, CAT5/6 hardwiring, integrated ceiling speakers in all rooms, programmable lighting, a home cinema and a games/bedroom-6 configuration for adaptable use.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. Broadband speeds are slow in this location and mobile signal is only average; the property sits in a hamlet/isolated setting so connectivity may be limiting for remote working. Council tax is noted as quite expensive, and the property’s size and specification suggest higher ongoing running costs compared with smaller homes. The area is affluent with very low crime, but the rural setting means everyday amenities and public transport are limited.
This house will suit an established family or buyers seeking a secure, high-spec home with substantial entertaining space and separate leisure facilities. It also offers potential as a lifestyle buy for those who prioritise privacy, technology integration and in-home leisure, but buyers should weigh connectivity and running-cost factors before viewing.
