Heathfield Built in 1903 as a Dower House, Heathfield is not Listed
and is situated in an enviable private position with views
across the Golden Valley and surrounding countryside.
The house is approached from a quiet country lane
through wooden gates behind which there is plenty of
parking and two car ports. There is a paved walkway
flanked by Box and Heuchera leading to the impressive
solid oak front door.
Internally, the main reception rooms are well-proportioned
with generous ceiling heights and lighting designed by
John Cullen of The Kings Road. A welcoming entrance
hall feeds off to an impressive drawing room with a high
vaulted ceiling, dominant stone fireplace with Jetmaster,
under floor heating and a prominent mullioned window
that allows plenty of natural light to flood the room. On the
west side of the hall is a more intimate sitting room and a
dining room with an Arts and Crafts fireplace and French
doors to a sun terrace and the garden. There is also
a good sized study whilst beyond is a great open plan
kitchen/breakfast room with multiple wall and base units
of painted maple with granite worktops. This has been
remodelled and extended by the current vendors.
There are two sets of French doors opening out onto the
garden and a window to the front of this dual aspect
room. It is fully equipped with a good island unit with a
sink, a hob, a steamer and a state of the art, concealed,
extractor fan. There is underfloor heating, an adjoining
cloakroom and a trap door down to the cellar where
there are two pressurized cold water tanks, a boiler
and a hot water tank.
Upstairs is accessed by a wide shallow staircase to a small
landing off which there is the master bedroom, overlooking
the garden with an open fireplace and en suite bathroom.
There are a further three bedrooms on the first floor as well
as two bathrooms one of which has a luxury Jacuzzi steam
jet shower. From this landing, a staircase leads up to two
further bedrooms and superb eaves storage.
