Description
This charming village home is believed to date to circa 1800s and is tucked well back from the road almost directly opposite the 15th century tower of St Michaels Church. Set on the brow of the hill, Highfield House is approached via a secured gated entrance that leads to a gravel driveway with parking for a number of cars. The home retains a wealth of original period character with many of the rooms having their own individuality and enjoying lovely aspects either to the private and enclosed front garden or to the sheltered sun trap rear.
A welcoming entrance hall doubles as a social reception area when entertaining family and friends. It is understood that this area would have once been the carriage pass to the rear and lies adjacent to the former barn which is now a beautiful drawing room with the principal bedroom over. The house is predominantly an l-shaped layout which creates a lovely sense of independence and generosity of space allowing for privacy between guest and principal bedrooms on the first floor. From this floor, magnificent views across the city of Bristol are to be enjoyed. The drawing room features a large inglenook style fireplace with wood burning stove and has double doors opening to the rear garden. A display alcove with storage cabinets under provides interesting detailing to this cosy room with a further more intimate sitting room located to the far side of the hallway. The separate dining room has a third open fireplace with a bench window seat overlooking the rear garden and a door opening to a very large utility room with direct access to the garden and garage. The kitchen is set to the rear of the property, with a series of cream painted cabinets and a five burner Rangemaster stove. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, the principal bedroom has a large dedicated en suite with his and hers basins, vanity units and bath with separate shower.
There are areas within the landscaped and well tended garden to enjoy sunshine at all times of day. The delightful west facing rear terrace radiates warmth from the afternoon and evening sun with a series of doors allowing guests to drift in and out of various parts of the house. There are a series of raised beds and an elevated deck from which to enjoy the outstanding views.
