Standing in its own grounds with a plot extending to .77 of an acre, the house has excellent levels of seclusion and privacy yet lies within walking distance of Bunbury Primary School and other village amenities.
Approached through electronic security gates, Heathfield is a aesthetically pleasing Victorian detached house that has been subject to considerable capital expenditure in recent times. The scheme of works carried out have been comprehensive and include the house being completely re-roofed and repointed in addition to the loft being insulated. Furthermore, the house was fully re-wired in 2008 and shortly before that in 2007 a new central heating system was installed. Whilst retaining its period features and character, the current owners have also brought in more modern additions including a luxury en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom and the conversion of the loft to a useful storage area/occasional play room.

As currently arranged there are three reception rooms accessed from a large central hall with the drawing room and dining room having the benefit of an Edwardian style Stovax fireplace and Clearview multi fuel burning stove respectively. There is also a large 'T' shaped open plan breakfast kitchen. At first floor level are five bedrooms, the master with an en-suite bathroom and a further family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.
As highlighted, Heathfield is an excellent family home with the added benefit of potential for further development and enhancement.

The external arrangement to Heathfield is equally impressive with a large gravelled driveway providing ample space for off road parking and turning. There is in addition a large garage and the delightful landscaped gardens run to three sides of the house. The whole plot is approximately 0.77 acre.
