This prestigious property spread over two floors, maintains its period charm with generous original features still prominent throughout. The property flooring is graced with an entrance hallway featuring a geometric tiled floor indicative of Edwardian times, rich cornices and patterned ceilings indicative of its era, maintaining a harmonious blend of contemporary living with period elegance. Every corner of this spacious dwelling tells a story, with primarily sash wood single glazed windows, and exquisite Art Deco French doors leading to an outisde balcony patio area. 
The bespoke fitted kitchen is sure to capture the heart of the culinary enthusiast, boasting an AGA range, providing the perfect setting for family meals and entertaining guests. A notable addition to the wealth of features this property holds is an impressive dry wine cellar, complete with fitted racks, affording a considerable amount of storage space.
Highfield House is set within substantial grounds, with a large front garden that is so spacious, it could accommodate a new build property (for which there is planning consent) without obtruding on the existing property's view. To the rear, the property benefits from an additional garden, a stone driveway and a garage. The outdoor spaces offer the potential for landscaping, outdoor family activities, or for the green-fingered, the opportunity to craft a splendid fragrant oasis of their own.
In conclusion, if period charm coupled with space, character, and authenticity is what you're after, then this substantial Victorian part attached property might very well be your ideal dream home. This property is a must-view to truly appreciate the level of detail that has been preserved. Its unique appeal and characterful ambience offer a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history.
