Rarely available and occupying a superb, secluded plot of 1/4 acre (STS), Highfield is an attractive three-bedroom detached bungalow situated along Boswell Lane in Hadleigh. Believed to date from the 1930s/40s, the property displays plenty of character and is surrounded by established gardens.
Highfield has been carefully improved while retaining the individual appearance of the original property. Its attractive red-brick elevations feature herringbone brickwork, contrasting timber detailing and leaded windows beneath a tiled roof.
The front door opens into a long central hallway, which provides access to the majority of the accommodation.
The living room is a bright, well-proportioned space with a window and double doors opening directly onto the garden. A wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point.
The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of shaker-style units complemented by quality work surfaces. A range-style cooker sits within a purpose-built recess, while further appliances include a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen opens into a garden room, currently arranged as a dining area, which enjoys views over the grounds and has double doors leading outside.
An adjoining utility room provides further fitted storage, a sink and space for laundry appliances. There is also an external door, a useful larder cupboard and a separate smaller cupboard housing the boiler.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double room with a leaded window overlooking the garden. It connects to a dressing area, beyond which is an en-suite bathroom containing a bath, separate shower enclosure, wash basin and WC.
The two remaining bedrooms are also of a good size, with one currently arranged as a comfortable sitting room. A separate family bathroom serves these rooms and includes a bath, WC and wash basin.
The secluded grounds are a standout feature of Highfield, extending to 1/4 acre (STS) and wrapping around the bungalow to create a particularly spacious setting.
The established gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and contain mature hedging, trees and shrubs, providing plenty of greenery and a good degree of privacy. Several paved seating areas offer places to enjoy different parts of the garden, while double doors from both the living room and garden room create an excellent connection between the house and its surroundings.
A generous gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles. There is also a substantial timber garage, together with further garden sheds.
