Description

Highfields', better known as Highfield House, is a substantial Victorian house set centrally within its plot on the edge of the acclaimed and historic village of Lavenham, and in the past has been a highly successful Bed and Breakfast.

It offers a fine example of Victorian architecture with beautifully proportioned rooms, elegant cornicing, sash windows and lofty ceilings.

A large, welcoming entrance hall leads to the two main reception rooms.

The drawing room offers an attractive fireplace with stone surround, high ceilings and large sash windows allowing plenty of natural light, with secondary glazing.

To the other side of the hall, opposite the drawing room, a double length formal dining room offers a continuation of attractive features such as a fireplace with marble surround, detailed cornicing work and large sash windows.

Further back, a small corridor leads to two WC's, a cloakroom and an office which lends itself perfectly to being a library.

To the rear of the house, lies a large open plan Aga kitchen and Living space with an impressive roof lantern allowing plenty of natural light. From this, a utility room housing the recently updated gas boiler and solar panel controls with storage batteries.

To the other side, a useful dog/boot room and a 'Loggia' perfect for Al Fresco dining overlooking an attractive landscaped garden with a Mediterranean feel.

Upstairs comprises five impressive double bedrooms, four of which offer en-suite and a family bathroom of generous proportions.

Annexe

The garden cottage annexe has recently been converted with great style and flair.

The open plan kitchen/diner is well equipped which leads to a sitting room opening onto a covered terrace, ideal for Al Fresco dining.

There is also a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room.

Solar panels on the roof of the annexe have been installed to give maximum energy efficiency.

Highfield House is set well back from the road behind wrought iron gates with a sweeping gravel drive providing parking for numerous cars, leading to the double garage and workshop.

Predominantly landscaped gardens with a small lawned garden to the side accessed from the front terrace or through a workshop / logstore to the rear.
