A landmark property, Highfield House is situated in a prominent and
semi-rural position just on the verge of Bretherton village and enjoying
far-reaching pastoral aspects from its prime location. This impressive
early-Victorian family home has some fine original features amidst the
generously spacious accommodation which extends to just shy of 3370
square feet and offers an under-stated elegance throughout. The property
is approached via a lengthy, sweeping driveway to a turning circle at the
front and giving way to a cobbled parking area and an attached brick built
double garage and a second gated entrance to the property. The wellestablished surrounding gardens are laid to lawn, paved seating areas,
raised sun-terraces, has space for a hot-tub, mature trees and hedging to
the boundaries providing a high-degree of seclusion.
The handsome, stone quoin-edged main house is entered via a broad
timber door into the sectioned hallway with original Victorian tiled
flooring, decorative coving and corbels, hand-painted glazed panels and a
staircase to the first floor.
The high-ceilinged rooms, some with friezes,
each have sizable sash-windows creating a light and airy aura and include
the dual aspect principal lounge with tall timber fire surround and multifuel burning stove. The large dining room with oak flooring gives way
into a study area, the rear conservatory with two doors to the garden, and
also into the rear hall which gives access to the cloakroom with two-piece
suite, the utility/boot room and the personal door of the double garage
with power and light.
Off both the main and rear halls is the attractively appointed living dining-kitchen fitted with an extensive array of bespoke, Kevin Roper
two-tone painted cabinetry and a long central island unit and breakfast
bar with curved finish to one end skilfully meeting a circular table and
chairs. Parallel to the island, bi-folding doors line the side elevation and
open to a raised sun terrace with glazed balcony. A canopy niche houses
the Britannia six-ring gas range cooker and the Shaws Original porcelain
sink unit gives a nod to its surrounding décor. A chimney breast with
decorative Victorian cast iron range and bread oven with open fire has
openings to either side giving way to the living room with oak flooring,
brick ingle with multi-fuel stove and a door back to the main hall. From
the kitchen is a door to the cellar and also the delightful stone flagged
conservatory relishing uninterrupted rural aspects.
The split-level, first floor landing with chandelier point, gives way to five
very spacious double bedrooms, master fitted with Kevin Roper
wardrobes and en-suite, another with Sharpes wardrobes, a further ensuite, and three served by the family bathroom with five-piece suite
incorporating a roll-top claw-foot bathtub, large shower cubicle twin
Savoy wash hand basins and a w.c.
