The property
Contemporary design meets timeless comfort in this deceptively large home. The heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, where full-height glazing wraps around the south-facing terraces and gardens, flooding the space with natural light and views of the pool and countryside beyond. The kitchen features premium Bosch appliances, a large island, and direct access to the utility and boot rooms ensuring practicality without compromising on style. A snug library with wood-burning stove and a dedicated cinema room provide quiet spaces for relaxation. Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys panoramic garden views, a generous dressing room, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Throughout, Highview House reflects understated sophistication - clean lines, natural light, and a feeling of calm continuity.

The Lodge provides elegant, self-contained accommodation finished to the same high standard as the main house. A fully equipped gymnasium with adjoining shower and changing room sits beside the pool terrace, creating a private wellness suite within the grounds. The beautifully converted Stables include a spacious games room with wood-burning stove, an office, a kitchen, and additional shower facilities and hot tub looking out onto the pond offering exceptional flexibility for entertaining, work, or leisure.

The charming Shepherd’s Hut, set beside the pond, provides a tranquil retreat complete with kitchenette, woodburner, and double bed - ideal for guests seeking peace and privacy. The Potting Shed adds further versatility, perfect as a creative studio, children’s den, or additional sleeping space.

Outside
Set within three acres of south-facing grounds, the gardens are designed for peace, privacy, and wellbeing. Manicured lawns and terraces flow to a natural swimming pool, complemented by a woodfired sauna and hot tub for year-round enjoyment. A Japanese-inspired corner at the rear of the gym forms a serene private garden, inviting quiet reflection, while the wildflower meadow, a duck pond adorned with lilies, an orchard of mature apple, plum, and pear trees and a generous vegetable garden cultivate a true connection with nature. Trees and hedging provide seclusion with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

At the front, a generous gravel drive leads to an oakframed double garage with a Lodge above, ample parking, electric car charging, and well-planned storage, including wood stores and a workshop.

The property can sleep 16 people comfortably across all the accommodation making it an ideal location for hosting family and friends.
