Highfield is a substantial six-bedroom family home set in a highly desirable semi-rural pocket of Northamptonshire, close to the Althorp estate. Originally built c.1930 and recently remodelled, the house combines traditional Tudor character with contemporary living—open-plan kitchen/living, four reception rooms, and flexible accommodation over three floors totalling around 5,000 sq ft. Mature grounds, a paddock and a heritage barn give the property broad appeal for families and those seeking space and privacy.
The bright, well-proportioned reception rooms include a sitting room with carved stone fireplace, a large kitchen by Fraser James with granite worktops and Aga, plus a separate utility, office and gym. The sleeping accommodation comprises a principal suite with dressing room and en suite, three further en suite bedrooms on the first floor and a large guest/games suite on the second floor. The layout suits multigenerational living or formal entertaining.
Externally the plot is a major asset: extensive gravelled frontage for multiple cars, garage block, gated access to landscaped gardens, paved terraces and a small enclosed paddock beyond. Practical connections include mains water and electricity, ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal; there is no recorded flood risk. The property is offered freehold with Klargester drainage and oil-fired central heating via boiler and radiators.
Notable practical points are straightforward: the EPC is rated D and the heating runs on oil rather than gas, which may affect running costs; cavity walls are noted as originally built with no assumed insulation. There is an annual contribution to Glebe Lane Residents’ Association (last recorded £156.35). Council Tax is in Band E and above average. Overall, Highfield will suit buyers seeking a large, characterful family home with grounds, scope for further personalisation and strong countryside connections.
