Agent Note - Buyers should be made aware that although the current homeowner has completed a vast amount of this exceptional home, there remains some parts that are unfinished. A new homeowner could finish this to their own taste and our CGI’s are to be used as examples of the final finishing for a potential purchaser - these are purely illustrations and not conducive to the sale. There is a further option by negotiation for the current owner to undertake these works should you wish for him to do so. The current homeowner can also produce a quote for the approximate costings of the outstanding works.

Highfields Cottage has the perfect blend of modern luxury whilst being nestled within the tranquil embrace of Steyning's countryside and The South Downs. This remarkable property is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to purchase a home with an A rated EPC but still allows for someone to add their own stamp with the finishing touches.

Beyond its electric gates, safeguarded by remote operation and app-controlled power isolation, lies a haven spanning approximately 1/3rd of an acre. Surrounded by privacy on three sides and with only distant neighbours across the road, this residence offers an oasis of seclusion and breath-taking panoramic views encompassing the North Downs, Kent Downs, and South Downs.

Parking is ample, accommodating up to 8 cars with a triple open garage and the potential of an additional 6-space garage. A separate barn annexe, situated above the garage, boasts a double bedroom, shower/bathroom, kitchenette, and living area. Enjoying the benefits of free electricity from PV tiles and its own hot water supply, the annexe promises both comfort and sustainability.

Step inside the main house to discover a sanctuary of contemporary living. A spacious cinema/snooker hall or gym awaits, accompanied by the potential of a shower room or WC. The residence is set over four floors and features a stunning kitchen equipped with modern conveniences including a combination microwave oven, double oven, dishwasher, fitted coffee maker, wine cooler, and a range of wifi-enabled appliances. The island hosts an induction hob and Teppanyaki hob, complemented by a Quooker tap and down draft extractor.

The accommodation extends to include an impressive master bedroom suite with a lavish ensuite, dressing room and rolling views of the countryside, a small guest room with its own ensuite, and a versatile study/bedroom adjacent to a cloakroom. A dog room and shower room by the back door, complete with Petwalk wifi-controlled dog door to cater to the needs of four-legged family members.

For those seeking ultimate comfort and convenience, the property boasts Cat 6 ethernet connectivity, 24 camera points for enhanced security, and a Mistek Automist fire prevention system. Energy-efficient features include two Kensa heat pumps, slate PV tiles providing free energy, and four heat recovery units offering zone control and underfloor heating throughout. For added peace of mind there is a back up 22KV generator.

Additional highlights include oak parquet flooring, a striking glass spiral staircase, a passenger lift servicing all floors, and smart lighting for effortless control. The lower ground floor offers a separate living area with en-suite bedrooms, a fully fitted kitchen, and a spacious utility room.

Completing this exceptional offering is an 11-metre lap pool, ready to be finished to your specifications. With double glazed windows ensuring efficiency and an impressive EPC score of A, this property represents the pinnacle of contemporary luxury living with the added benefit and security of a 10 year structural warranty in place.
