Description

Built in 1836, Highfields House is an attractive six bedroom stone-built house set in the heart of Evedon. The property is beautifully presented throughout after a full renovation which has seen the grounds landscaped and the interiors completely modernised to an exceptional standard. Updates include bifold doors, bespoke shutters on the front elevation, the addition of underfloor heating in some of the bathrooms, contemporary bathrooms. A stylish Chiselwood kitchen with plenty of storage and premium Miele appliances, including a steam oven, warming drawer and hob with countertop extractor. The house in its current layout is ideal for multi-generational families, with the attached two bedroom annexe providing excellent accommodation for grandparents or older children to live independently while still connected to the main house. Alternatively there is also great scope to incorporate the annexe into the main property or alternatively to make the annexe entirely self-contained, making it suitable as an income generator such as a holiday let.   

The magnificent interiors are a huge draw, featuring wood parquet flooring, high ceilings, grand proportions and neutral colour palette to make the house feel wonderfully bright and elegant. The accommodation extends to about 4500 sq ft over two floors, making this generously proportioned home ideal for families and big celebrations. A welcoming first impression is given by the large entrance hall, leading to the generous drawing room. The kitchen/dining room is open plan and has its own door into the annexe, which has two bedrooms, an open plan sitting/dining room and a bath/shower room. The bedrooms are arranged in two separate parts of the house, each with their own staircases: on the north side, there are three large doubles, two of which are en suite. On the south side, there is a vast 45ft sitting room, three further bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom.

The house has a striking first impression, with landscaped manicured lawns to the front leading up to the house where there are paths and a terrace. The gravel driveway has space for a good number of vehicles and access to a detached triple carport. To the rear there are two low-maintenance paved courtyards with a variety of shrubs around the borders.

The owner current rents an area of land with stables in close promixity to the property and we understand this could be available to rent or buy for the new owners of Highfields House.
